I’m reading How Linux Works, 3rd Edition: What Every Superuser Should Know and I learned that you can force the kernel to reload a partition table with a command like this:

# blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdX

Just an update on my toilet light cover. My new screws arrived so I replaced the big (18mm) ones with some more appropriate smaller (10mm) ones. It’s now ready to go back in the roof, will do that soon.
