The kernel won't re-read the partition table if there are open partitions, so whatever you do, DON'T REBOOT (it'll be gone then). Do you know the particulars of the old partition table? If so, just re-run fdisk and recreate the partition(s) to match. If not, I'm not sure if there is a way to see what the running kernel thinks the partition table looks like. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
