Can you confirm whether you were using a 32 or 64 bit

and add the output here).

cheers.

Here is the output

tunnan:/# file `which xfs_growfs`
/usr/sbin/xfs_growfs: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1
(SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for
GNU/Linux 2.4.1, stripped

Yeah, so thats a 32 bit userspace with 64 bit kernel - there must be an
alignment/size issue in the growfs ioctl. I'll let the XFS developers know,
there are games they play in the kernel to counteract this problem.

You will find that a 64 bit userspace will work fine (with 64 bit kernel).

cheers.
