The reason for this is two fold. First, xfs gives you plenty of inodes to begin with, and xfs_growfs adds more inodes as well as additional free space when you grow an LV. Example using mkfs.xfs defaults: Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 xfs 94G 6.4G 87G 7% /home Filesystem Type Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/sda6 xfs 94M 7.1K 94M 1% /home 1 million inodes per gigabyte.
