Let me try a simpler question. I'm running kernel 2.6.8-16 on x86. I'm
not using LVM; just straight fdisk-style partitions.
I have a hard drive that's totally unused: there are no mounted
partitions and no swap partitions on it.
When I use parted, fdisk, etc to edit the partition sector:
- changes to primary and extended partitions do not show
up until a reboot: /dev/hda, /dev/hda1 etc will not
dynamically appear, and the devices behind those names
are unrecognised by the driver.
- changes to logical partitions show up immediately.
Is this a known problem? Does it "work for you"?
Thanks in advance,
jan
PS. Would appreciate a CC: on any responses.
