A Linux system administrator is managing a server with a large data partition formatted with the XFS filesystem and mounted at /data. The administrator has successfully extended the underlying logical volume using lvextend. To ensure the filesystem can utilize the newly allocated space, which of the following commands should be executed next?
The correct command to resize a mounted XFS filesystem is xfs_growfs. This command should be given the mount point of the filesystem as an argument. The resize2fs command is used for ext2, ext3, and ext4 filesystems, not XFS. The xfs_repair command is used to check and repair a damaged, unmounted XFS filesystem. The xfs_admin command is used to change parameters of an unmounted XFS filesystem, but not to resize it.
