Howto make Linux aware of new logical drives

[Fredrik Uddin-Backman2]

I created a new logical drive with ACU-EX but Linux don't seem to see this without reboot? Are there any tools to make this happen without reboot???

I think the logical drives are scanned at the time the driver is loaded for the scsi controller. If your root partition is not on the controller you could unload and reload the driver.. but I bet your setup won't allow it.

Take a look at this page,

http://en.tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Programming-HOWTO-4.html

and at the bottom there is a section on dynamically adding and removing SCSI devices. I think that is what you are looking for.

But the problem is that Compaq Raid controllers doesn't add any entries under /proc/scsi whatsoever?
