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
