[Solved]Grow an XFS partition

I have /dev/system/home which has been enlarged by 20GB to 60GB, the XFS partition on it is 40GB in size. When I view the help section I don't know what option to use:

[root@JORDAN-CD3CDA3B jordanwb]# xfs_growfs --help
Usage: xfs_growfs [options] mountpoint

Options:
    -d          grow data/metadata section
    -l          grow log section
    -r          grow realtime section
    -n          don't change anything, just show geometry
    -I          allow inode numbers to exceed 32 significant bits
    -i          convert log from external to internal format
    -t          alternate location for mount table (/etc/mtab)
    -x          convert log from internal to external format
    -D size     grow data/metadata section to size blks
    -L size     grow/shrink log section to size blks
    -R size     grow realtime section to size blks
    -e size     set realtime extent size to size blks
    -m imaxpct  set inode max percent to imaxpct
    -V          print version information

According to this site:
http://www.linux.sgi.com/archives/xfs/2 … 00008.html

You just run `xfs_growfs /dev/system/home` to let it fill the available space on the device
