Recently someone complained that changes made in fdisk didn't `take', that he deleted a partition, and rebooted, and it was still there. I could hardly believe this - there is no such bug in fdisk - and he reported that another attempt with cfdisk had been successful.
A moment ago I used cfdisk on some machine and found the partition table unchanged after writing it back. And sync;sync;sync did not change that. But a second invocation of cfdisk worked.
This was a vanilla 2.2.3 kernel.
So, maybe a bug has crept into the treatment of partition table sectors in 2.2.*. Will investigate more later.
