Questions : disk partition re-reading

[Remi Colinet]

Hi,

I have 2 questions about disk partitioning under linux 2.6.x :

1/ Is it possible to alter a disk partition of a used disk and beeing 
able to use the modified partition without having to reboot the box?

2/ Is it possible to delete a disk partition without having the 
partition numbers changed?

My box is an AMD 2500+/Asus board with FC1 / 2.6.5.

Do I need to upgrade fdisk or use an other utility? Or do I need to 
apply a kernel patch?

Regards,
Remi
