I never rebooted and never had any problems. Well, I've done this (segmenting a disk from EVMSGUI) quite a lot of times this last week, and I can say for sure that "fdisk -l /dev/hd<n>" will _NEVER_ reflect the changes made in EVMS until the system has been rebooted. Anyhow, I see evmsgui display the "Rediscovering volumes in kernel" messages, and I can use the new segments just fine -- as long as I use them seen from within EVMS -- using /dev/evms/.... volumes. Once the system has been rebooted, then "fdisk -l /dev/hd<n>" will show the partitions allright, with the limitations that if I made more than 16 segments in EVMS, fdisk seems to be aware of the 16 first segments only, and doesn't know about the others.
