Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] The installer

[<ea...@gm...>]

Today I've been working on some of the filesystem identification and
updating the frmPartSelect class to display filesystem information
I've encountered a problem though: if I create a non-linux filesystem where
a linux filesystem used to be, fdisk does not update this information until
the computer is rebooted. So frmPartSelect will display something like this:

|   Filesystem   |
| Linux - NTFS  |

when it should display

| HPFS/NTFS - NTFS |

I'm guessing that after a user has used GParted of cfdisk  from the
installer's embedder we will have to force them to reboot so that fdisk can
refresh its data, instead sending them right along to the frmPartSelect form
to setup mountpoints/filesystem :(

Is there any way to force fdisk to update its information without rebooting?
It would probably be a lot better to let the user proceed right away after
setting up partitions than having to reboot.
