I've made disk partitions for a long time on linux...
I just run utils 2.5 fdisk, and made 3 partitions on /dev/hdb (empty extended, 2 and 3)
I get (in 1.3.74 under dmesg) : FS: Disk change detected on device 02:00 hdb: hdb: hdb: hdb1 < > hdb2 hdb3 hdb: hdb1 < > hdb2 hdb3 : leisner@thingy;
Does opening up /dev/hdb R/W and writing the parition table force a rescan of the partition table?
I don't see it...
