If there have been device changes on any of the busses, the on-disk database 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 device changes on the bus, the device special files are updated to reflect the changes. Request that the kernel scan the specified bus for a specific device. If there has been a change to the attributes of that device, the device special file for the device is updated to reflect the changes.
