Initialize_New_HDD_Without_Restart

Initialize hard drive without restarting in Linux

In this example you can see, we have only one hard disk interface “/dev/sda”.

 

Now I am going to add one extra hard disk(In my case I am using VMWare workstation)

After successfully added without a reboot, hard disk not initialize. We can see in the screenshot.
