Resizing XFS on GPT partition
I've had a XEN VM with a 90GB disk, increased it to 250GB. Then I had the problem that I used GPT partitioning, meaning only "parted" being usable. parted doesn't support resizing partitions for xfs and refuses to do it.
The simple thing is to delete and recreate with bigger size that partition. Later mount the partition and run xfs_growfs.
I don't understand why parted doesn't support that, just resizing the partition and not refusing it. :-(

File a bug against parted. :)
I agree, parted should just resize the partition as you asked and shut up about anything else. I'm surprised that it can't - even if the fs is unmounted?
I have no idea what happened to "do one thing and do it well." :)

You think that's easy? I went there:

Yes, unmounted, of course. They are strange. They know xfs does this only when online. I wonder what they will write about my report.

Yes, KISS (keep it small and simple).
