Hi,
Here is a trivial bug fix for blkdev_reread_part() in 2.5.31. Without this fix, "fdisk" hangs with following messages:
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot.
Please apply.
Thanks, Badari
