When you can't re-add a data store in ESXi...

I recently had a issue with one of my SAS drives, which caused a failure on my raid card and a lost datastore. After I replaced the drive, I kept getting the error that my disk is blank. Duh, I just recreated the array. Anyways, 5 minutes on Google and I found the helpful post above. Some simple fdisk commands later through a SSH command prompt, and bam! Everything is back to normal and I was able to re-add the datastore.
