RE: Detecting New SAN LUN in RHEL5

Well, I finally stopped wasting time with it, and rebooted the server.  The LUN appeared, and I have the new disk space.  Sure would like to know how to do that without a reboot though - especially since other versions of RHEL could do it.  Would hate to think that this isn't an option in RHEL5 :(

Plus, kudzu doesn't seem to do the trick.  Just tried and got this in /var/log/messages:

kudzu[21227]: obsolete kudzu ddcProbe called

I'll search /proc for something I can toggle.

Thanks,
Mike.

There must be a way of detecting new LUNs without rebooting - everything else has been pretty automatic so far (card detection, activation, etc).

Personally, I'd much rather rescan the card for the new LUNs rather than
run kudzu.  I've not had a lot of success with doing it that way without
rebooting.
