Message-Id: <20060223111429.GA21178@sci.fi> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org I added a partition to a harddisk yesterday, but after I exited fdisk I couldn't mkfs on it, because the device node didn't exist, /dev/hda7 to be exact. After manually creating it with mknod, I still couldn't mkfs. So I removed the manually created node and rebooted and then I had the node and could mkfs. But what does one do to accomplish the same thing without rebooting? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
