How do I clear a block device from my Red Hat Enterprise Linux system?
Issue
After unpresenting some of my storage and clearing my multipath maps, I notice multipath is still listing paths belonging to the removed storage in a failed state, and the block devices are still listed on my system. How can I remove these without a reboot?
