I tried with the filesystem both mounted and unmounted. Never had a problem. And XFS can't be grown unless it's mounted, so the size of the block device is not the one causing the issue here, as the size of the block device (array) is larger than what the filesystem is occupying, which is normal. After mounting the filesystem, the admin can increase the size of the =46S to fit the newly expanded array size.
