Summary: After using parted, the modified device files (/dev/sda1, etc.) have not been restored before the next line in a script trying to use them.
parted-2.3 linux-2.6.34 busybox-1.13.2 (using mdev with sequence numbers) ntfsprogs-2.0.0 I have a bash script that resizes an NTFS partition using parted and ntfsresize. I seem to have a race condition where sometimes, the device files for the device just modifed have not yet been recreated before calling ntfsresize. Is there anything I can do about this? I did have a problem with mdev performing the hotplug actions out of order, but that seems to have been fixed. I don't really want to sprinkle sleeps all throughout my scripts either. I did that in one place, but on an older (read: slower) machine, that failed. Is there a best practice way of doing this? Does anyone know how GParted handles this? I don't have this problem with linux-2.6.31.5 and parted-1.8.9(ubuntu 8.10), but I'd like to upgrade to get bug fixes and features.
