| |
I am using linux kernel 2.6.9 on a san. I have file systems on non-partitioned disks. I can resize the disk on the SAN, reboot and grow the XFS file system those disks. What I would like to avoid rebooting or even unmounting the filesystem if possible.
Is there any way to get the kernel to re-read the disk geometry and change the information it holds without rebooting or reloading the module (which is as bad as a reboot in my case)?
Thanks,
