    Yes you are correct.Thin with 100% preallocated Size.

    when ever we use preallocate size, that device act as a reguler device...am i right.kindly correct me if i am wrong

    No that is not my problem.That is 1 TB devices which we have allocated erlier.Yesterday i have allocated 20GB lun.i did rescan twice and thrice but no luck.

    You are correct, d454 was rescanned a while ago.

    As long as your filesystem sample living on inconsistent densities, you will not be able to do a succesfull rescan.

    This is what the error messages is telling.

    You need to solve the FS sample issue before you will be able to succesfull rescan

    I assume d454 is a thin device and all others are thick devices

    it may act as a regular device, but the rescan is checking the device type without the "it may act like knowledge".
