Package: util-linux Version: 2.12r-15 Severity: important I just tried to delete an unused partion in fdisk and create two new ones instead. When I was finished in fdisk, I entered w and had following output. --------------------------------------- Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot. Syncing disks. --------------------------------------- I rebooted the systemSunparcstation 10), but found the partition table unchanged. I tried again, but it did not help, I had to start the debian installer to partition my hard drive. I don't know if this is a bug in fdisk or in the kernel, I am using kernel 2.6.17-2-sparc32 -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: sparc Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-sparc32 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages util-linux depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-8 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurs 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libuuid1 1.39+1.40-WIP-2006.11.14+dfsg-1 universally unique id library ii lsb-base 3.1-22 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii tzdata 2006n-1 Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time util-linux recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
