Re: [arch-general] Kpartx should be in the repos and archiso for enabling encrypted GPT install

This is interesting, partprobe seems to be an even lighter alternative.

It seems that partprobe indeed also works for device mapper maps. Relevant links: * A commit to the (c)fdisk man page that suggests using kpartx or partprobe when the BLKRRPART ioctl fails (I wonder why that was not upstreamed): https://git.devuan.org/CenturionDan/util-linux/commit/c64061c9b306f2db49ba97... * Some relevant Archlinux BBS threads, one commenter there even recommends kpartx over partprobe for some reason: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=189537 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=190672
