Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.23.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at
the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8)

2.3 Restart the system
# reboot
2.4 View the current partition type, in this case the type is xfs
# df -T /dev/sda1

Size of logical volume cl/root changed from 8.00 GiB (2047 extents) to 17.99 GiB (4606 extents).
Logical volume cl/root successfully resized.
2.9 Adjust the file system size
# xfs_growfs /dev/cl/root

realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0
data blocks changed from 2096128 to 4716544
In this example, the xfs file system is adjusted using the xfs_growfs command. If other file systems, such as ext4, use the resize2fs command, pay attention to the distinction
