<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear All,<BR>
<BR>
I have installed CentOS release 5.2 (Final). EMC SAN partition is mounted by using EMC Powerpath for resolving multiple paths. I was able write and read data over to SAN partition without any issues.<BR>
<BR>
Subsequently I have unmounted EMC SAN partition from the system and deleted LUN using Navisphere user interface. After rebooting system, I still see SAN mappings in system.<BR>
<BR>
Here is the affected partition mappings ....<BR>
<BR>
==============================<BR>
cat /proc/partitions<BR>
==============================<BR>
major minor #blocks name<BR>
8 16 1048576 sdb<BR>
8 48 1048576 sdd<BR>
8 80 1048576 sdf<BR>
8 112 1048576 sdh<BR>
============================<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
When I try to print information using parted, I am getting the following information ....<BR>
=========================================================================================<BR>
#parted /dev/sdb<BR>
GNU Parted 1.8.1<BR>
Using /dev/sdb<BR>
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.<BR>
(parted) print <BR>
Error: Unable to open /dev/sdb - unrecognised disk label. <BR>
(parted) <BR>
=============================================<BR>
<BR>
I would like to get rid of partition mappings from the system. Anyone has any solution for this problem please. <BR>
<BR>
with regards,<BR>
