My understanding of growing file systems is the same as yours, it can
only grow at the end not the beginning. In addition to that, having
partition 2 before partition 1 just cries to me to have it fixed, but
that is just aesthetic.

Christian,
Thanks for the feedback.
I guess I'm wondering about step 4 "clobber partition, leaving data in
tact and grow partition and the file system as needed".
My understanding of xfs_growfs is that the free space must be at the end
of the existing file system. In this case the existing part

first installed (ceph 0.56.4, ubuntu 12.04). This left us with 2TB
