I think it needs to take place at a lower level than hal; either in the kernel or udevd. The partitioners need some way of telling the rest of the system that the device is not yet ready, and that begins with the kernel announcing the new device to udevd. Maybe partitioner like tools need to place a lock on the underlying disk device to make sure they have exclusive access to manipulate the partition table, and the kernel should not announce the new information until the tool releases the lock, when it is completely finished. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
