Then I am sorry if It cannot help you. I am not 100% certain, but I believe that rescan script will probe the device again and report the new size.

However, is it not possible to allocate new LUNs and then concat the devices together to new logical volumes, then expand the file system?

I tried running the script again to see if it reports the new size... unfortunately.. it didnt

.

Yes it is possible to create new LUNs and vgextend the existing VG, without rebooting. But the risk is that we might end up with 128 LUNs and the SAN I/O will definitely suffer, or maybe im wrong?
