Hi

I have added a 2nd scsi disk. But there is no /dev/sdb
It has not been rebooted as it is a live server.
Should the drive be automatically detected? Is there a command that
can detect the drive or does this mean there is hardware problem?

Red Hat and SUSE solve this with:

rescan-scsi-bus.sh -w -l

See if you have that command.

Also, if you don't use LVM, you might want to
look at using the names at /dev/disk/* since
you've got some kind of dynamic disk adding
capability.



any comments welcome
