Hi Francisco,

read the message ;-)! xfs_growfs grows the mounted filesystem, you ought 
to give the mountpoint, not the devicefile.

I use ReiserFS, ext3 and XFS on my job and im stumbling regularly (i 
must admit: allways when a grow a filesystem :-( ), into this trap: one 
want's the devicefile and the fs unmounted, one want's the devicefile 
and the fs mounted and one wants the path to the mounted filesystem ...

Ciao
Klaus
