Lab 8.5

[chis0]

Hi,

In Lab 8.5 - I notice all checks passed but I checked the answers and I did not use the below command in my solution:

xfs_growfs /storage/data1

It seems the lab passed regardless of this command.

What are the consequences of not using xfs_growfs and only using lvextend?

Thanks.

Hi @chis0 

The xfs_growfs command introduces an extra step to extend the file system. An
alternative would be to use the lvextend command -r option: -r|--resizefs
Resize the fs using the fs-specific resize command.  See --fs for
more options (--resizefs is equivalent to --fs resize.)
