Hey Paul,

You can open() the disk with O_SHLOCK to make modifications to the partition map. We detect the modifications upon the close().

Is there a way to do this on Leopard?

Hey Paul,
I/O Kit does not pick up live changes to the partition map in Tiger. You have to unmount the volumes on the disk first.

We need to be able to create a boot not root partition on a mounted volume. I have a customized copy of gpt that can create the partition but when it's done the system is unaware of the new partition so I can't run newfs_hfs on it. Is there a way I can get the system to notice this new partition so I can add the file system without rebooting the system?
