Hi, |
| 2 |
I created a new logical partition on my main drive. I'm wondering |
| 3 |
how I would tell the kernel to use the new table without doing a |
| 4 |
reboot? Is this possible and is it easy or dangerous? I'd prefer not |
| 5 |
to reboot right now, but would rather reboot than take too many |
| 6 |
chances. |

Thanks, |

The kernel still uses the old table. |

The new table will be used at the next reboot. |
