Ah... right. I missed removable devices. I think it would be better to just expand the table rather than recursing into __blkdev_get() again. I'll try to come up with cleaner solution. Also, I don't think the discontinuous partition would be a problem. ptbl is expanded to the highest numbered partition not the number of partitions. I'll test that too. Thanks. -- tejun
