xfs_growfs doesn't resize
Hello again all,
I apologize for following up my own post, but I found some new information.

But I haven't yet done a umount, and don't really wish to. So, my followup questions are:
==Is there a simple way to figure out what xfs_growfs did, and whether it caused any problems?
==Will I be able to fix these problems, if any, without needing a umount?
==Assuming my filesystem is healthy, will a simple kernel update (and reboot of course!) allow me to resize the filesystem in one step, instead of 2TB increments?
Again, many thanks!

Apart from looking at what is on disk with xfs_db in the manner that is done in the first thread you quoted, no.

If you need to modify anything with xfs_db, then you have to unmount the filesystem first. And realistically, you need to unmount the filesystem to make sure what xfs-db is reporting is not being modified by the active filesystem.
So either way, you will have to unmount the filesystem.

I'd upgrade both kernel and userspace.
Cheers,
Dave.
