Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH] Add partprobe call in the API

Hello We are using libguestfs with nested partitions: One partition encrypted with LUKS include a GPT and several partition. In order to make the nested partition available to the system after the cryptsetup-open, partprobe need to be run. I guess it is true for all kind of nested partitions (encrypted or not). This patch add a partprobe call in the API.
