Going from memory, I believe that if any parition on the disk is active, you will need to reboot. In other words, if you have a mounted partition on that physical disk, and then create a new partition on that same disk, you'll need to reboot. If you don't have any active partitions on that disk, you're ok. So, for the most people who usually only fdisk when adding a new disk, no reboot is necessary. Try umount'ing all the partitions on the physical disk you're working with and see if you can get away without the reboot. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
