xfs_growfs: /dev/ol/root is not a mounted XFS filesystem

On Oracle Linux 7.7, trying to run “xfs_growfs’, and get errors.

[root@racnode1 ~]# xfs_growfs /dev/ol/root
xfs_growfs: /dev/ol/root is not a mounted XFS filesystem

It seems the syntax has been changed for this release. The mount point is required now instead of LV, like /dev/ol/root.

We can confirm root file system (/) size has been increased from 27GB to 61GB.
