Hello everyone - I'm looking for a way to get FreeBSD 8 / 9 to detect that an already existing disk has grown. I have FreeBSD running as a guest within vSphere ESX 5. Here is the output of camcontrol showing how the disks are detected within the OS:
[root@QA1HWFBSD83201 ~]# camcontrol inquiry da0 pass0: <VMware Virtual disk 1.0> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device pass0: 320.000MB/s transfers (160.000MHz, offset 127, 16bit), Command Queueing Enabled In the VM settings I can increase the disk size but I can't seem to find the right command within FreeBSD to force it to detect the new, larger size without a reboot. 'camcontrol rescan all' works great to detect a new drive but doesn't detect a larger disk. Within a Linux distribution like Debian, the following command will detect the larger drive: echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/0:0:0:0/device/rescan I apologize if this has been answered in the archives or online but I just haven't been able to get a definitive answer if this is possible, and how. Thanks so much in advance, Luke _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
