    Finally figured it out.  Got clued in by all the references to
"resize2fs" in all my Google results.  Had one more step left, resize
the filesystem itself.  In my case I had to use "xfs_growfs".

nodeB:~ # df -lTh /local/groups
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/drbd1     xfs    137G  134G  3.2G  98% /local/groups
nodeB:~ #

nodeB:~ # xfs_growfs /local/groups/
meta-data=/local/groups          isize=256    agcount=16, agsize=2238183

realtime =none                   extsz=65536  blocks=0, rtextents=0
data blocks changed from 35810928 to 71654592
