OPTIONS The Update Options Use the following options to update device special files and the data- bases: Request that the kernel scan all SCSI busses for devices. If there have been device changes on any of the busses, the on-disk data- base and device special files are updated to reflect the changes. The command should be used with caution. On systems with a large number of SCSI busses, the option can take a long time to run and can affect the performance of other processes accessing SCSI devices. Request that the kernel scan the specified bus for devices. If there have been de- vice changes on the bus, the device special files are updated to re- flect the changes.
