resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open

Posted 2020-09-01 嗡嘛呢巴美吽舍

I am trying to resize a logical volume on CentOS7 but am running into the following error:

resize2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
resize2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/mapper/centos-root
Couldn‘t find valid filesystem superblock.

 

solution:

After a bit of trial and error... as mentioned in the possible answers, it turned out to require xfs_growfs rather than resize2fs.

xfs_growfs /dev/centos/root
df -h
