"camcontrol rescan" does not force fetching the updated disk size.
AFAIK there is no way to do that.  However, this should happen
automatically, if the "other side" properly sends proper Unit Attention
after resizing.  No idea why this doesn't happen with VMWare.
Reboot obviously clears things up.

Is open-vm-tools installed?

I ask because if I don't have it installed and the kernel modules
loaded, VMware doesn't notify the guest OS of disks being
added/removed.

Also, what disk controller are you using?

Cheers.

until the freebsd guest is rebooted.
