When I perform an fdisk or sfdisk on a /dev/mapper/ multipath device I get a warning about it failing to re-read the partition information. With fdisk it warns that I'll need to reboot before using the device, with sfdisk it just complains about the ioctl that failed: Re-reading the partition table ... BLKRRPART: Invalid argument Is it possible I have something configured wrong? Or is this a problem with the way /dev/mapper nodes work? I get the same result when using /dev/dm-* nodes. With the raw device nodes such as /dev/sd* it works ok. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
