I've reproduced the problem on my 9.2-STABLE test system that I can reboot and compiled in CAMDEBUG. As far as I can see the emulated scsi controller does not send any unit attention condition. Also, I think relying on the device to tell you about changes should be optional, but the rescan (or whatever other command I should use) should always detect the correct size. On the other hand, John-Mark Gurney is also correct in pointing out that closing and reopening the device (as in zpool export; zpool import) does update the size. Of course that still requires me to shut down everything running on that filesystem, which is what I'm trying to (though probably can't) avoid. So what's next? Should I open a bug report? Anything else I should try? Thanks for your help. Rolf.
