Writing something to some files in sysfs. If none of the LUNs are in
use, "modprobe -r <module>" followed by "modprobe <module>" will also
work.

Thanks, Malahal.

Something to some file is not very helpful. And the other LUNs are in use. I am just trying to keep from having to reboot if I really do not need to.
