Some tipp 'n tricks to handle you linux system in seldom situations
Tipps I found with variable usefullness:
blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda7
(from VMWare Communities)
partprobe /dev/sdX
hdparm -z /dev/sda
sfdisk -R /dev/sda
echo 1 > /sys/block/sdX/device/rescan
echo "scsi remove-single-device X X X X" > /proc/scsi/scsi echo "scsi add-single-device X X X X" > /proc/scsi/scsi
(X X X X
is <AdapterNo.> <Channel> <Id> <LUN>)
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host<N>/scan
(see Linux Journal)
echo "scsi scsi-scan-devices" > /proc/scsi/scsi
partprobe [options]
(Thanks to linux-poweredge)
sfdisk -R
In case you are in danger, that your remote system might hang while doing a clean shutdown, a “cold reboot” triggered by software might help
echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger
