Using "w" from fdisk "writes table to disk and exits" At the CLI do "partprobe" after changing the partition layout in a disk. "partprobe is a program that informs the operating system kernel of partition table changes, by requesting that the operating system re-read the partition table" so "w" does something to the disk, partprobe tells the OS what was done on the disk. ~af -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
