💅 aoe-revalidate(8) — revalidate the disk size of an aoe device 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the aoe-revalidate(8) page from the System Manager's Manual. this is the group chat where we make an aoe device spill the tea about its disk size. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

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

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

aoe-revalidate e{major}.{minor}

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The aoe-revalidate command is literally the bestie that tells the aoe driver to revalidate the disk size of an open aoe device. no cap.

Normally the aoe driver will only acknowledge changes in an aoe device's disk size when the aoe device is not open. it's giving "I'll only notice if you're not looking" energy. 🙈

⚠️ real talk: 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. not iconic. protect your users. 😭

🎀 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

look at that glow-up: 82.348GB to 164.696GB. periodt. ✨

this page comes from the System Manager's Manual and its footer just says aoe-revalidate(8). no date on the page, bestie, just mystery and main character energy. bye! 💖
