OT: Partition table lost

[Arkadiy Chapkis - Arc]

  Yes, it looks like they are correct in /dev. As far as I know FC3 uses udev, which sould automagically build the
device tree for any devices that you have. And remove entries if the device(s) is (are) removed.

# ls -l /dev/sdb*
brw-rw----  1 root disk 8, 16 Nov 26 13:11 /dev/sdb
brw-rw----  1 root disk 8, 17 Nov 26 14:10 /dev/sdb1
