This too funny. While trying to find an answer to this I hit the following
link:

   http://www.caldera.com/company/legal/update/LTC%20-%20JFS%20for%20Linux%20Feb%202002.pdf

Notice the company name. This freaking morons actually redacted a block of
text entitled "Source of the JFS Technology" which basically gives press and
kudos to IBM. Of course, we only know the title and the text because the
morons didn't actually remove the text, they only added a visual overlay.
So, you can select it with the cursor, cut & paste, etc.

This is just downright petty. SCO, you should be eternally shamed and
ostracized.

Anyway, according to this hit:

   http://www.linux.com/feature/32002

you have to execute:

   mount -o remount,resize /mount/point

but it accomplishes the same thing as xfs_growfs. Live filesystem resized.
