Hello,
a hypothetical question:
I have a Linux box connected to a Fibre SAN. Now I'd like to resize one
LUN and tell my Linux box what happened. In other words can I _live_
resize a SCSI disk?
[ let's not talk about which filesystems are capable of live
resizing :) ]
* Is this possible at all, eg does the SCSI Standard include
something to enable a device to tell the host about the changed
geometry (SENSE DATA, ...) ?
* Is it possible with Linux, eg does the block layer/scsi layer
support it? any problems with the partition code?
* If there are problems, are they solveable, any plans on working
on them or is already someone working on this?
Two options come to my mind:
* LVM, just define a new LUN, add it to the group, and resize
* echo remove-single-device ... > /proc/scsi/scsi (would not be
life)
regards
Stefan
