Hi!
Thanks for this quick response.
I also see the problem in the kernel, but the system worked for about 2
months with nearly the same configuration (only some python-packages were
added). All I did was changing the partitions of one of the storages ...
Otavio: Maybe you could put this in the documentation?
man partprobe?
What's your suggestion about it?
I was thinking abut something like a
---[ troubleshooting.txt ]------------------------------------------------
If /proc/partitions does not know about your partitions but parted does
so, you should try running partprobe.
Hint: If you miss your partitions after a reboot, it could be necessary to
run partprobe at every reboot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I understood the man-page of partprobe like it is a tool to force the
system re-reading the partitions without a reboot after making changes.
But at the moment at least I have to use the tool to make the partitions
visible for Linux every time I reboot - this is not "inform the OS of
partition table changes", it is something like "inform the OS of the
partition table" ;-)
But you're right: it also may be the fault of the SCSI-host-driver -
something like a timeout. I will inform these guys tomorrow.
Greetings from Germany,
