Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: xfs-bounce@oss.sgi.com Errors-to: xfs-bounce@oss.sgi.com List-Id: xfs To: linux-xfs@oss.sgi.com Does xfs_growfs depend on some space left on the file system in order to be able to grow it? I have a colleague who ran into an issue where a file system resize failed. The file system is 100% full. Aside from analyzing what happened in his case, should XFS be able to grow a file system that is 100% full? The device has already been expanded, it is the XFS file system that fails to resize. I just wonder if that is by design, or whether it is an issue. -- Geir A. Myrestrand
