The reboot on changing the drive db is not necessary, just execute this and the drive db will be reloaded:

/usr/syno/sbin/synostgdisk --check-all-disks-compatibility

I notice that that would work in DSM 6 but I'm not sure about DSM 7

In DSM 6 "synostgdisk --help" returns:
--check-all-disks-compatibility check all disk compatibility info.

In DSM 7 "synostgdisk --help" returns:

--get-dump      get the disk dump info.
--disk-activate <DISK_PATH>     activate a deactivated disk, only for debug.
--disk-deactivate <DISK_PATH>   deactivate the disk.

In DSM 7 synostgdisk always returns 0 as the exit code so I assume --check-all-disks-compatibility is working in DSM 7.
In DSM 6 synostgdisk --help returns 0 as the exit code.
In DSM 6 synostgdisk --check-all-disks-compatibility returns 255 as the exit code.

Thank you for confirming that.

I'll use /usr/syno/sbin/synostgdisk --check-all-disks-compatibility for both DSM 7 and DSM 6 but leave the "You may need to reboot..." message for DSM 6.
