Alright now I see:

test=# create table int_test(c1 int, c2 int);
CREATE TABLE

test=# select pg_relation_filenode('int_test');
  pg_relation_filenode
----------------------
                 70021
(1 row)


test=# insert into int_test select a, a+1  from generate_series(1,
10000, 1) as t(a);
INSERT 0 10000

test=# select pg_relation_size('int_test');
  pg_relation_size
------------------
            368640
(1 row)

test=# alter table int_test alter column c2 set data type bigint;
ALTER TABLE

test=# select pg_relation_filenode('int_test');
  pg_relation_filenode
----------------------
                 70024
(1 row)

test=# select pg_relation_size('int_test');
  pg_relation_size
------------------
            450560
(1 row)
