historically, after i create a new partition, i typically have to reboot to refresh the kernel's understanding of the partition table. under what circumstances is this actually necessary? i know that it's not *always* necessary. is it just for primary partitions? and is there a way to "force" a refresh on a running system so that rebooting isn't required? thanks. rday -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
