[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#652993: udisks: Device or resource busy when creating logical partition

[Marcin Szewczyk, Wodny]

Package: udisks
Version: 1.0.4-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

When creating a logical partition right after creating the extended one, udisks
(udisks-helper-create-partition) returns with a "Device or resource busy"
error.

Forcing the kernel to reread the partition table right after extended partition
creation seems to do the trick.

Here is the thread, which led me to this conclusion:
http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=267085

And a similar bug in Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/666038

A proposed (tested to some extent) patch attached.
