Here's the deal. The example here shows a fsize of 1024 while mine is 2048. I'm confused by the calculations as I'm not sure what to modify. Another thing, I cannot tell if this example is being done with the next block of space available on the disk or a block further up the line. My situation is that I want the new space to start after the 12G mark...anyone had any experience in using growfs?
