Hi,

I added a new disk image in the Linode Manger which I was expecting to see at /dev/xvdc but it doesn't show. I guess I need a reboot but I'd prefer not to just now.

I saw on other forums that centos can be signalled to scan for a new SCSI disk using this command:
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan

but I don't have these directories because AFAIK the linode images are using a virtual disk manager not SCSI. Does anyone know of an alternative way my centos image can be triggered to recognise the newly created disk?

TIA

You'll need to add it to your configuration profile in the Linode manager and reboot. It's the only way.
