THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN!!
I thought I'd been around awhile... never recalling hearing of
'partprobe'. I ran it, and have been having a pile of problems with
udev, and partprobe reveals that the system thinks I have this:
[root@iam My Downloads]# partprobe -s
/dev/hda: msdos partitions 1 2
/dev/sda: msdos partitions 1
WTF?
I have ext3 partitions and lvm on hda... no wonder udev barfs. How do I
safely fix this?? The boot sequence finds ext3 partitions, and
everything gets mounted as such, or so I beleive. Something got
clobbered during yum upgrade... I suspect. Thanks again for your timely
post. Ric
Nothing there to fix. All it said was that the partition table format is
msdos and that there are two partitions. "parted /dev/hda print" will show
what the partition table says in detail, while "fdisk -l /dev/hda" will
show how it was interpreted. Note that my understanding of this is fairly
basic and I haven't had to manually edit any partition tables.
