Hi, guys;

Does anyone know a good way to let a newly created partition get recongnized
without rebooting the system? Many thanks.

Unfortunately I don’t think there is. Apparently QNX decided this
was a usefull feature as it was in QNX4.

This is addressed in the upcoming 6.1 release.

mount -e /dev/hd0

Just tried it, it seems still have problem, here is the output. (the hard
disk in the master of secondary IDE, so I use /dev/hd1)

mount -e /dev/hd1

Guessing type [qnx4], use -[t|T] if incorrect
mount: Can’t mount /dev/hd1 (type qnx4)
mount: Possible reason: Invalid argument

mount -ewt qnx4 /dev/hd1

mount: Can’t mount /dev/hd1 (type qnx4)
mount: Possible reason: Invalid argument

mount -et qnx4 /dev/hd1

mount: Can’t mount /dev/hd1 (type qnx4)
mount: Possible reason: Invalid argument

By the way, thanks for all your help!
