Hi list! I was investigating some openSUSE bug reports where parted failed with the following:
--- Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/hda5 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/hda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting." --- The problem is described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441244 with detailed instructions how to reproduce it and a patch. I can confirm that the patch fixes the problem for me, but it did not get it to parted. As Bryn wrote in comment #2, it needs some discussion because of the possible interference with bootloaders (I'm going to test what might happen with grub/lilo installed to extended partition in this case). -- Best regards / s pozdravem Petr Uzel, Packages maintainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: [email protected] Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 964 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
