partition table

[Mathias Noack <mn3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I got the following problem:
I created a block special inode with (from HOWTO SSI Cluster project):
mknod /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 b 7 1
After that I loop back mount a root filesystem:
losetup /dev/loop1 root_fs

So know I was wondering why this block device
(/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3)  doesn't appear in the
partition table (/proc/partition)?
What I have to do? 

I need this because the ptool from the OpenGFS project reads
the partition table to creating pools. 

Regards,
Mathias
