It should not be necessary to use BLKRRPART.
Does the disk advertise itself as removable?

I imagine your disks are not reporting themselves as 'removable' ? If they
correctly
I am trying to use removable EIDE hard disks on
a Red Hat Linux 6.1 machine, for backup / walknet purposes.
Issuing a BLKRRPART ioctl call immediately after
changing the disk works, but only if the new disk is no larger than the disk
present at boot time (smaller and equal capacity disks
I am trying to use removable EIDE hard disks on
a Red Hat Linux 6.1 machine, for backup / walknet purposes.
Issuing a BLKRRPART ioctl call immediately after
changing the disk works, but only if the new disk is no larger than the disk
present at boot time (smaller and equal capacity disks
works, but only if the new disk is no larger than the disk present at =
boot time (smaller and equal capacity disks work OK).
How do I get Linux to recognise that the media in /dev/hdc has changed?
