[I could've sworn I posted this question yesterday, but I didn't get a copy nor can I find it among my sent messages. So forgive me if this is douple post.]
When I've created a new partition using cfdisk, how can I make the kernel "see" it without rebooting? When I try to create a fs, mke2fs bails out with "Device not configured while trying to determine filesystem size" I know from earlier experiments on other machines that a reboot would fix this, but I'd rather not take the box down. Thanks Christian
