Hm, that doesn't look much better :) I'm experiencing similar (or maybe the same ?) problem on SUSE with parted-1.8.8. Sometimes, if I create a partition and immediately afterwards I try to remove the partition, the kernel doesn't get informed. The pseudoscript(tm) I'm using: --- #!/bin/bash parted -s /dev/sdX mkpart primary 0 10M parted -s /dev/sdX rm 1 grep /dev/sdX1 /proc/partitions && report error --- If I run this in a cycle, after several iterations it fails, because sdX1 is deleted from on-disk table, but it is still present in /proc/partitions. It seems to be really sensitive to timing, because if I e.g. run the 'parted rm' via strace, the probability of failure decreases significantly. Idea: something must be touching /dev/sdX1 while parted is deleting it. So I've put 'lsof /dev/sdX1' between those two parted calls -> some hal related crap is touching /dev/sdX1. Now the interesting part: if I run the test with haldaemon disabled, I'm no longer able to reproduce it. I know this is far from precise analysis of a problem (and even further from a solution), but perhaps it might show something where to look. -- Best regards / s pozdravem Petr Uzel, openSUSE Boosters Team ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: [email protected] Lihovarská 1060/12 http://www.suse.cz 190 00 Prague 9, CR
