Hi, all -- I finally settled on xfs as the filesystem for my raid5 volume on my home computer even though I've been a longtime reiserfs lover :-) But, hey, let's try something new. I recently added another device to my md raid5 set and expanded the device from 8T to 12T, and now I want to grow the filesystem. I remade the partition and we oughta be good to go: diskfarm:root:10:~> parted /dev/md0 print | egrep 'TB|Table|Sector' Disk /dev/md0: 12.0TB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt 1 1049kB 12.0TB 12.0TB xfs Linux filesystem When I try xfs_growfs, however, nothing changes: diskfarm:root:10:~> df -kh /mnt/4Traid5md/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md0p1 7.3T 6.5T 863G 89% /mnt/4Traid5md diskfarm:root:10:~> xfs_growfs -d /mnt/4Traid5md/ meta-data=/dev/md0p1 isize=256 agcount=32, agsize=61043072 blks = sectsz=4096 attr=2, projid32bit=1 = crc=0 finobt=0 data = bsize=4096 blocks=1953377275, imaxpct=5 = sunit=128 swidth=256 blks naming =version 2 bsize=4096 ascii-ci=0 ftype=0 log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=521728, version=2 = sectsz=4096 sunit=1 blks, lazy-count=1 realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0 data size unchanged, skipping diskfarm:root:10:~> df -kh /mnt/4Traid5md/ Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md0p1 7.3T 6.5T 863G 89% /mnt/4Traid5md I've searched high and low and haven't found any indication of why I shouldn't be able to grow as long as the partition is large enough, so now it's time to dive into the mailing list :-) Please bcc: me on your replies since I am not subscribed. I promise to follow up with my ongoing results :-) TIA & HAND :-D -- David T-G See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/email/ See http://justpickone.org/davidtg/tofu.txt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-xfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
