    Create partition and Extend reiserfs File System in Linux LVM

    Create partition and Extend reiserfs File System in Linux LVM

    redhat
    In Linux, when adding a new disk use this to rescan the bus with the following command

    echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan

    In the above command the the hyphens represent controller,channel,lun, so – - – indicates all controllers, all channels and all luns should be scanned.

    In Linux, when expanding an existing disk
    For Existing disk ...which is resized.
       echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/0\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan
       echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/0\:0\:1\:0/device/rescan
       echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/0\:0\:2\:0/device/rescan
       echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_device/2\:0\:0\:0/device/rescan

    ***********************
    Add a Disk to LVM:
    ********************
    1.take the output of
    lvmdiskscan





    fdisk -l


    2. Scan the newly added disk.

    echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host#/scan
    3. Check the output of
    lvmdiskscan
    fdisk -l
    lsscsi
    List existing drives.


    fdisk /dev/sdb (This step is optional, If you want to use the whole disk under LVM , you can directly proceed to "pvcreate")
    Once formatted, then we need to create Physical Volume out of it.
    I've 3 partition on this disk as of now. I'll create another partition on it.

    WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
