Subject: 2.2.12 breaks fdisk

Somone break something? I can only seem to access new partitions after a
reboot.

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
rotyla:~# mkreiserfs /dev/hda4

<-------------mkreiserfs, 2001------------->
reiserfsprogs 3.x.0j

count_blocks: open failed (No such device or address)


rotyla:~# mke2fs /dev/hda4
mke2fs 1.25 (20-Sep-2001)
mke2fs: No such device or address while trying to determine filesystem
size
