Hi, I have a scsi disk on Adaptec ASC-29320 U320. I have created a linux partition and ext3 filesystem over it. Now the problem is, whenever the machine is rebooted, the partition information to the OS is lost and I get an error saying it as a not valid block device. But fdisk tool shows the partitions, but "cat /proc/partitions" doesnt have this. I need to do a "partprobe" and then have to mount it explicitly. What could be causing this problem. Given below are some of the command outputs. # uname -a Linux pr.vionline.net 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:37:32 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux # mount /dev/sda1 /disk1 mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 73.4 GB, 73407900160 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 8924 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 7417 59577021 83 Linux /dev/sda2 7418 8924 12104977+ 83 Linux # cat /proc/partitions major minor #blocks name 3 0 60051600 hda 3 1 409626 hda1 3 2 10482412 hda2 3 3 10482412 hda3 3 4 1 hda4 3 5 10482381 hda5 3 6 2096451 hda6 3 7 2096451 hda7 3 8 2096451 hda8 8 0 71687402 sda Thanks -Jag
