Thank you James, Eventually we managed to solve the problem: Debian sarge has an old rescan-scsi-bus.sh version based on /proc instead of /sys. newer lpfc module in 2.6.18 kernels doesn't fill /proc/scsi/HOSTADAPTER, so older rescan-scsi-bus don't even try to map new devices. Summarizing: to make partitions visible with lpfc drivers for Emulex LP8000 HBA under 2.6.18 kernels, use newer rescan-scsi-bus http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh Thank you everyone for support and the nice work.
