I assume from your email that your GFS file system is located in a logical volume, but that logical volume needs to have enough free space (> 100 blocks) in order to grow. So if your LV is inside of VG "VolGroup03", let's assume your LV is named "leandro_lv". Then you would need to do something like this: lvresize -L +10G /dev/VolGroup03/leandro_lv This extends the logical volume "leandro_lv" so that it can use some of the free space in the VolGroup03 volume group. After that, "gfs2_grow /Backup_files" should work properly.
