Hi, Older Version of Linux without device mapper if i have a new partition i can use "partprobe to update the partitions in /proc/partition without reboot. Newer Versions of Linux like FC5 are using devicemapper. /dev/mapper/XXXX can be used for vg or filesystem. If I create a new partition on a disk how I can tell devicemapper from to new partition without reboot ? partprobe is not working for this. I need to sea all my new partition in /dev/mapper regards Thomas -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
