You cannot grow an XFS file system that is currently unmounted.
There is currently no command to shrink an XFS file system.
You can use the xfs_growfs command to increase the size of a mounted XFS file system if there is space on the underlying devices to accommodate the change. The command does not have any effect on the layout or size of the underlying devices. If necessary, use the underlying volume manager to increase the physical storage that is available. For example, you can use the vgextend command to increase the storage that is available to an LVM volume group and lvextend to increase the size of the logical volume that contains the file system.
You cannot use the parted command to resize a partition that contains an XFS file system. You must instead recreate the partition with a larger size and restore its contents from a backup if you deleted the original partition or from the contents of the original partition if you did not delete it to free up disk space.
For example, to increase the size of /myxfs1 to
4 TB, assuming a block size of 4 KB:
# xfs_growfs -D 1073741824 /myxfs1To increase the size of the file system to the maximum size that the underlying device supports, specify the -d option:
# xfs_growfs -d /myxfs1
For more information, see the xfs_growfs(8)
manual page.
