Hi all,
I just setup a machine with an ide disk for / and two sata disks I intend to
mirror for storage. There were two partitions on the sata disks I wiped out to
turn into one big linux raid autodetect partition. With /dev/sda, the processes
worked just fine. I cfdisk'ed the drive and it's device node showed /dev/sda
and /dev/sda1. The second disk I partitioned and udev never updated and
continued to show /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb1, and /dev/sdb2.
I tried echo'ing "- - -" into the proc scsci scan file to try to get the change
to kick. dmesg showed that the kernel saw sdb correctly, but udev never
updated. I even ran udevmonitor and did the echo rescan thing, but udev never
even got the hotplug notification.
I've since rebooted the box and all was well, so I built my mirror. But I'm a
bit nervous that I had to reboot. If I loose a drive, will I have to reboot to
get hotplug to work then too? Should I have had to rebooted to get the
partition table rescanned? Is there a way to force udev to start over and
rescan everything? Is there a reason why the kernel saw /dev/sdb1, but udev did
not manage the nodes properly?
Thanks,
Christian
