ata_piix doesn't have a way to get automatically notified that the

mode, but I don't know if that's possible on that chipset and BIOS.)
I think there are some ways to get the code to recheck the disk
however.. you can try echoing something into the "rescan" sysfs file
under /sys that matches your device (do a "find /sys/ -name
scsi_level" to see what directories they're in, the rescan file is in
the same directory).
Thanks for the hint
It doesn't work unfortunately.
Echoing something into rescan makes it output (in dmesg) basically the
same message that comes out with blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdr. The size
is still detected wrong. Catting "model" also turns out that the old
brand of disk still being detected. smartctl -a does show the new disk :-)
I tried to write "1" in evt_media_change but it's permission denied :-)
Thank you
