The safest way to use it is to unmount the filesystem, delete the partition using fdisk, create a new partition in its place, mount the filesystem, and then call xfs_growfs:
You're kidding right? This is the safest way? Perhaps you may want to point out the tiny detail that deleting the partition wipes out all of your data. Additionally, if you are re-creating the partition, you don't need xfs_growfs you just need to use mkfs and make the file system whatever size you want. You've already lost your data.
This is a terrible article. I hope your backups are good.
