Adding a new disk (shotgun scan :) )
Once added in vmware , rescan the scsi bus to see the new disk (assuming you use scsi disks)
find out which one to use
# ls /sys/class/scsi_host
Now use the value given (host0) in this case
# echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/ host0 /scan
# fdisk -l
# tail -f /var/log/message
you should now see the new disk , sometime vmware tools does this for you! Removing a diskonce the filesystem is unmounted , volume groups removed from it etc you can remove a disk like so:
echo 1 > /sys/block/sde/device/delete
