Hi
my home partition is xfs file system.
I have extra space in my disk, so I want to grow the size of an existing XFS file system . What is a proper way to expand an XFS file system? or how to resize wiht live dvd opensuse 42.1?

Expanding xfs itself is easy - just use xfs_growfs, but you need to expand underlying device first. How to do it depends on whether you are using disk partition directly, LVM, RAID, whether it is encrypted etc. So please provide more information about your setup.

Well as above it depends on your set up but bas procedure is to change size of the partition or container and then expand the File system.

RAID complicates it of course you need to do that on all drives that have the partition. Also note that you can not do it at all if the partition is mounted so you need to boot from a live media
