Please free your mind. It is KERNEL which should ignore changes at the table on the DISK. I never pretend to change live KERNEL partition table, all I want from the start is to change partition table on the DISK. But KERNEL prevents me to change DISK partition table. My point that DISK partition table editing must be unrestricted while KERNEL partition table may be restricted, and two tables, KERNEL and DISK ones, must be separated. -- http://ache.pp.ru/
