RHEL8.0: xfs_growfs and xfs_info no longer support a device path but require a mount point
Issue
- Change in behaviour of
xfs_growfsandxfs_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
-noption ofxfs_growfsno longer works with the device name
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 and 8.1.
- xfs
