            Bug ID: 100921
           Summary: Kernel cannot read partition table automatically.But
                    use partprobe command can.
           Product: IO/Storage
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 4.1.0
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: SCSI
          Assignee: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org
          Reporter: halyx@126.com
        Regression: No

I use linux kernel 4.1.0 in my Gentoo Linux.
Whenever I insert my USB-HDD into USB-port, kernel cannot read the partition
table automatically.
But when I use the partprobe command, it can read my partition table.
I want to know whether it is a bug.

As the following, the output of the "dmesg|tail":
dmesg | tail 
[ 5384.806237] usb-storage 1-4:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected

ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda3  /dev/sda4  /dev/sda5  /dev/sda6 
/dev/sda7  /dev/sda8  /dev/sdb
As above, there is not /dev/sdbX(X=1,2,3...)
Then, I use "sudo partprobe" 
ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda  /dev/sda1  /dev/sda2  /dev/sda3  /dev/sda4  /dev/sda5  /dev/sda6 
/dev/sda7  /dev/sda8  /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1
As above, the /dev/sdb1 occurred.

I want to know whether it is a bug.I didn't want to insert "partprobe" command
whenever I use my USB devices.

Yours sincerely
Thanks.

My USB devices have VFAT filesystem.
