I always assumed that it was impossible to have the kernel re-read the partition table of a drive with mounted filesystems. But apparently it isn't. Here's some possibly interesting detail on what partprobe does. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/4061/how-does-partprobe-work It's possible fdisk doesn't do this. I don't know enough about parted, but it's also possible it lets partprobe do it instead of doing it itself. --keith -- kkel...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
