hello, i have cobbler kickstart a machine, partition, format and install os on sda1 like so: bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda --append="crashkernel=auto" clearpart --all --initlabel zerombr part / --ondisk=sda --fstype="ext4" --asprimary --size=40000
then, in a postinstall snippet, i make a new partition on the same disk, sda3, with parted: /sbin/parted -a optimal /dev/sda --script -- mkpart primary 42000 42001 /sbin/parted -a optimal /dev/sda --script -- mkpart primary 42002 100% then, i run: /sbin/partprobe echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/rescan but, nonetheless, when i go to format sda3 (later in the same postinstall snippet), the os doesn't see it. i need to reboot to make it known to the os. this is annoying, as i want to perform some operations on that partition before postinstall completes. anyone have suggestions for getting the OS to successfully reread the partition table on a disk with an already mounted partition? -- robert joseph, (m) 415-516-0548 production operations @ foursquare foursquare is hiring! foursquare.com/jobs
