Subjecthelp with cache
Hi all,

I'm writing a Partition Magic clone, and I've got a spare hard drive to
test it with. When my program (GNU parted) nukes the partition, I run
mkfs on it. However, the old partition still appears to my program
until I reboot.

Is this a cache issue? How can I clear the cache? Are there any good
references on how the cache works?
