Hello, I'm trying to partition a drbd device that is backed by an LVM partition. So I guess you could call it a partition within a partition. The partitions seem to be getting created fine (I used cfdisk on /dev/drbd1), but I can't seem to figure out how to actually get the partitions to show up in /dev and be mountable. cfdisk sees them as drbd1p1 and drbd1p2, but when I run a partprobe I get: Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/drbd1p1 -- Invalid argument. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/drbd1p1 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting. Error: Failed to add partition 1 (Invalid argument) Unfortunately I'm not in a position to reboot the machine right now, and even if that was a solution I would need this to happen on the fly while the machine is running. Any thoughts? Thanks, Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/attachments/20120514/6c747b7f/attachment.htm>
