Hello everyone -
I'm looking for a way to get FreeBSD 8 / 9 to detect that an already
existing disk has grown. I have FreeBSD running as a guest within
vSphere ESX 5. Here is the output of camcontrol showing how the disks
are detected within the OS:
[root@QA1HWFBSD83201 ~]# camcontrol inquiry
It can be done but it's not easy and not pretty.
You'll have to rewrite the partition scheme to grow *only* the last partition
and then use growfs on the last partition to zero the new inodes within its
newly defined range.
You'll of course need to boot from another medium to do this.

I could solve the boot problem of the USB key in the older
laptop of my wife by inserting into /boot/loader.conf the line
kern.cam.scsi_delay=1
(note: set kern.cam.boot_delay did not help)

FreeBSD and VMWare are marginally
aware of each other, though it is possible if you do enough digging
to get 5.x virtual machines limping along inside both GSX and ESX.
However, expect to see strange behavior in a number of applications,
