What command do I execute to "write to the capacity_override > attribute", before I do "blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdX"? As root: echo N >/sys/class/scsi_disk/D:D:D:D/capacity_override where N is the number of blocks and D:D:D:D is the device name corresponding to the sdX disk. Or if you prefer, an equivalent path would be /sys/block/sdX/device/scsi_disk/D:D:D:D/capacity_override and here you wouldn't have to guess at the value of D:D:D:D because it would be the only entry in the /sys/block/sdX/device/scsi_disk directory.
