Subject: [PATCH 110/131] partprobe: do not skip loop labels
|
|
|
|
Partprobe was not syncing loop labels. This resulted it failing to remove
|
|
existing partitions when switching to a loop label.

** Bug Fixes
|
|
|
|
+ partprobe: when called on a disk that has become a loop label,
|
|
+ remove any partitions left over from a previous label.
|
|
+
|
|
libparted: The loop label represents an unpartitioned disk, but creates
|
|
a dummy partition to represent the whole disk. This dummy partition
|
|
was actually being loaded into the kernel. Don't do that.
