Description Jacob Hunt 2010-12-14 19:12:14 UTC
Description of problem:

/proc/partitions not updating after creating LUNs via hpacucli

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.18-194.el5

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. hpacucli delete
2. hpacucli create
3. parted 

Actual results:

Parted fails no /dev files

Expected results:

The device files to be created


Additional info:

We're able to fix this problem by updating the CCISS driver to 3.6.26-5. Can we get this driver added as a point release on the -194 kernel?

Comment 1 Debbie Johnson 2011-01-03 16:28:42 UTC
Customer is creating raid luns using hpacucli tools, after creating the luns the device files have not been created and don't exist until a reboot.  They have done testing and found that upgrading the cciss driver to 3.6.26-5 fixes their problem.  The would like to have cciss updated in kernel-2.6.18-194.el5, which probably won't happen.  Can I get any info on when this would be added?  (5.6, 5.7)?

Info:

DL380G7
kernel-2.6.18-194.el5

Hi Jacob,
3.6.28 should be part of -245 kernel, please retest it with the latest kernel.

Thanks,
Tomas
