   xfs_growfs too quick

   Trying to install Alma Linux with 2 hard drives, the Ass Hat installer   
   is a PITA for custom partitioning. Wanted home on larger drive and the   
   rest on the other drive. But login after install, and found home was   
   only 500 GB of the 2 TB drive. It was xfs and to my surprise, I see   
   xfs_growfs can run on a mounted drive. So did control-alt-F3 for a text   
   terminal, then sudo xfs_growfs /dev/sda1   
   It only took a second, so apparently only change partition table limits.   
   Shouldn't format the rest of the drive?
