And once again, big thanks for analysing the problem and writing the patch. I came across this today and really wished it could have been MFH to 10-STABLE to make it into a 10.x RELEASE See r299371 for the commit to HEAD |
Created attachment 163665 [details] patch that adds camcontrol reprobe device command ESXi allows the user to resize a VMDK attached to a running VM. Unfortunately it doesn't return any 'Unit Attention' sense information in response to a 'Read Capacity' request. This kinda makes sense as ESXi emulates SCSI-2 disk devices and, as far as I can tell, the 0x2A/0x09 ASC/ASCQ sense code that denotes 'Capacity Data Has Changed' wasn't defined until the SCSCI-3 spec. I am attaching a patch that allows an admin to request that a device be re-probed via camcontrol. The new command sends a CCB message that creates an async event. The event is captured by scsi_da which calls reprobe() on the peripheral, the same code that is executed when the 'Unit Attention' 'Capacity Data Has Changed' sense code is received from the device. For example ... # camcontrol readcap da1 -h Device Size: 32 G, Block Length: 512 bytes # gpart show da1 => 40 58720176 da1 GPT (28G) 40 58720176 1 freebsd-ufs (28G) Note, I resized the VMDK disk in ESXi. The camcontrol readcap output shows the size as 32G but geom still thinks its 28G. # camcontrol devlist <NECVMWar VMware IDE CDR10 1.00> at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (cd0,pass0) <VMware Virtual disk 1.0> at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (pass1,da0) <VMware Virtual disk 1.0> at scbus2 target 1 lun 0 (pass2,da1) <FREEBSD CTLDISK 0001> at scbus3 target 0 lun 0 (da2,pass3) # camcontrol reprobe 2:1:0 The kernel output looks almost identical to when the 'Unit Attention' sense data is received ...

Now that geom knows about the increased disk capacity, I can resize the partition and grow the fs ...

It's strongly recommended to make a backup before growing the file system. OK to grow filesystem on /dev/da1p1, mounted on /var/data1, from 28GB to 32GB?
