Hi all, I have a system with hot swappable bays but one of the involved controllers apparently does not support hot swap: (I have unfortunately an old kernel: 2.6.24) 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 631xESB/632xESB/3100 Chipset SATA IDE Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 8f [Master SecP SecO PriP PriO]) Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19 I/O ports at 18c8 [size=8] I/O ports at 18ac [size=4] I/O ports at 18c0 [size=8] I/O ports at 18a8 [size=4] I/O ports at 18b0 [size=16] Memory at da804400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K] Capabilities: [70] Power Management version 2 I have swapped the disk with a larger one (750GB -> 1TB) but it blockdev --getsize64 still sees the old size. It has not realized I have swapped disk. In the past I was doing: blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdX and it usually worked on other controllers to reread the size visible from "blockdev --getsize" or "blockdev --getsize64". One time I think it even worked on exactly *that* controller... but it's not working now, it's strange. Is there a technique, or I am out of luck? The machine should not be rebooted I would even enter the size manually if possible: I know how many LBA blocks are in that disk.
