I'm not in a rush to do this resize, I was deleting some other OSes
and growing my Linux install; I have plenty of filesystem space left
even now, so felt it better to report this so I could either
understand what I'm doing wrong and/or help troubleshoot a possible
bug this since it seems really strange to get an ENOMEM when I have...
well, 30+GB of memory free.

It's a ThinkPad W530 if that matters, I can dump further details if needed?

Is your Google broken?

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xfs_growfs%3A+XFS_IOC_FSGROWFSDATA+xfsctl+failed%3A+Cannot+allocate+memory

Also, when reporting a problem here, always include your kernel and
xfsprogs version, at minimum.  See:

You are running what kernel? 3.7.6, .7 or .8? if so, upgrade to to
3.7.9, and the problem should be fixed.

Cheers,

Dave.
