Subject: 2.4 IDE hotplug disk change and size change problem
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2003 18:01:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031223230120.GA5771@devserv.devel.redhat.com> (raw)
Some people found that the
hdparm -b0
swap disk for a larger one
hdparm -b1
would then go nuts with disks IFF the new disk was larger and fdisk wasnt run.
Can folks seeing this try the following guess at the problem (I dont currently
have any hotpluggable IDE working except CD/DVD bays)
