Partition(s) have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change
partprobe kpartx /dev/sdg partx -uv /dev/sdg (this one worked on centos 7.3!)
This one gave new disk size! Verified: CentOS 6, Ubuntu 22
echo 1 > /sys/block/sde/device/rescan
Only one that seemed to work on (centos7.x)
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan
or scan all:
echo "- - -" | tee /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/scan
The winner so far:
blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdg
but may throw blockdev: ioctl error on BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy
maybe
hdparm -z /dev/sdg
Force reboot
I found sometimes 'reboot' and 'shutdown' don't work in virtual machines, in that case try:
#sync echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger #optionally umount echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger #reboot echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Mignight commander/dialog strange characters
Quick fix:
export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1
This probleem seems to be related to screen/su -
kpartx failing silently
No output/result when trying to create:
kpartx -lv /dev/mapper/foo
this might means the device hasn't been partitioned
No output when trying to delete:
kpartx -d /dev/mapper/foop1
means you should use
kpartx -d /dev/mapper/foo
Create swapfile
fallocate -l 4G /var/swapfile mkswap /var/swapfile
Temporary:
swapon -v /var/swapfile
In fstab: /var/swapfile swap swap sw,prio=-1
swapon failed: Invalid argument
problably trying to use fallocate on rhel/centos, use dd instead
partx: error adding partition
try kpartx instead
Find maximum depth of directory
find /var/www -type d | awk -F"/" 'NF > max {max = NF} END {print max}'
pvcreate: Cannot use /dev/sdb: device is partitioned
Even /proc/partitions will confirm there's no partitions, so to convince pvcreate:
wipefs --all /dev/sdb
