NAME

       aoe-revalidate - revalidate the disk size of an aoe device

SYNOPSIS

       aoe-revalidate e{major}.{minor}

DESCRIPTION

       The  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.

       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.

EXAMPLE

       nai# aoe-stat | grep e1.9
            e1.9        82.348GB   eth0 up
       nai# < /dev/etherd/e1.9 sleep 600 &
       [1] 13006
       nai# aoe-revalidate e1.9
       nai# aoe-stat | grep e1.9
            e1.9       164.696GB   eth0 up
