xfs is a filesystem. So is ext4
see
man mount
If you want to expand a mount, I would probably just set up a:
1. new xfs partition of the desired size, and mount it, at
say:
/tmp/home
2. then rsync the content over:
rsync -av /home/. /tmp/home/.
3. run the command twice, 'just in case'
4. umount /home, and /tmp/home
5. manually edit /etc/fstab to point to the new one
6. get SElinux properly set:
a. # touch /.autorelabel
b. # reboot
(the system will relabel)
The former [ext4 formated] /home/ partition may be scratched
