RHEL8.0: xfs_growfs and xfs_info no longer support a device path but require a mount point
Issue
- Change in behaviour of
xfs_growfs
andxfs_info
- These XFS utilities previously supported device names of block devices that could be found in the mount table
- Changes in 8.0 and 8.1 now are in line with the intended function
- As a result, the Ansible filesystem module resizing of XFS fails when presented with the device name as it requests
- The
-n
option ofxfs_growfs
no longer works with the device name
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 and 8.1.
- xfs
