- .SH NAME
- aoe-revalidate \- revalidate the disk size of an aoe device
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- .B aoe-revalidate e{major}.{minor}
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The
- .I aoe-revalidate
- command tells the aoe driver to revalidate the disk size of an open aoe device.
- Normally the aoe driver will only acknowledge changes in an aoe device's
- disk size when the aoe device is not open. Aoe-revalidate will cause the
- driver to pause any I/O for the aoe device while revalidating the disk size.
- After revalidation I/O is resumed.
- .PP
- It should be noted that if an aoe device's disk size shrinks in revalidation
- any users may become hopelessly confused when their resumed I/O starts to fail.
