9.5. Growing a File System

The command is used to expand a GFS file system after the device where the file system
gfs_grow
resides has been expanded. Running a
spare space between the current end of the file system and the end of the device with a newly initialized
GFS file system extension. When the fill operation is completed, the resource index for the file system
is updated. All nodes in the cluster can then use the extra storage space that has been added.
The command can only be run on a mounted file system, but only needs to be run on one
gfs_grow
node in the cluster. All the other nodes sense that the expansion has occurred and automatically start
using the new space.
To verify that the changes were successful, you can use the
(verbose) flags. Running the command with those flags displays the current state of the mounted
