"partprobe" and device mapper

[thomas.vonsteiger at bluewin.ch]

Hi,

 

Older Version of Linux without device mapper if i have a new partition i can
use "partprobe to update the partitions in /proc/partition without reboot.

Newer Versions of Linux like FC5 are using devicemapper. /dev/mapper/XXXX
can be used for vg or filesystem.

If I create a new partition on a disk how I can tell devicemapper from to
new partition without reboot ?

partprobe is not working for this. I need to sea all my new partition in
/dev/mapper 

 

regards

Thomas
