I don't think that's necessary. fdisk calls the ioctl necessary to re-read the partition table after it's done. In fact it's more likely to work as expected on IDE disks than with SCSI (try playing with some fibre channel devices!). However, you can run: "sfdisk -R /dev/hdd" which will cause the kernel to reload the partition table. It certainly can't hurt :-). jack -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list The information contained in this e-mail message and in any annexure is confidential to the recipient and may contain privileged information.
