 |
|
I'm about to install a new SATA, internal, non-raid HD in my system. I usually use cfdisk to partition it, and usually end up rebooting to get the new /dev nodes (/dev/sdb1, /dev/sdb2, etc.) to show up.
Is there a way to tell the kernel, or udev to re-read the partition table and get the /dev nodes without a reboot?

i think udev will just create them as soon as partitions are there.
for me, nothing to do. Just do it(c), yes you can(c)... |

| krinn - thanks - I just finished partitioning and the nodes just automagically showed up - but I'm pretty sure I've had to reboot before to get them. cyrillic - thanks for the command. |
