The growfs hang problem was fixed in 2.6.34.

On earlier kernels, if you do a grow while the system is under
allocation load it could deadlock. growing on a mostly idle
filesystem was generally OK, but under heavy load problems could
occur. This hang is what xfstests 104 exercises...

Cheers,

Dave.
