Don,
I am some additional information for you.
In W2K and XP there is no way have Disk Management display the new
partition w/out having to close/reopen the snap-in. Neither refresh nor
rescan are coded to refresh the dmadmin partition table cache.
They believe this has been fixed in W2K3 but the devs are verifying this
for me.

Don,
One other question, if you do refresh in the DiskManagement UI does your
partition show up?

Don,
What version of the OS are you doing this on?
The suggestion from the devs is to call IOCTL_DISK_UPDATE_PROPERTIES and
see if this fixes the issue.

Subject: [ntfsd] Disk Manager Refresh Question
Hi,
OK, I finally got IOCTL_DISK_SET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX to create partitions
for
me. I turns out that I was setting some of the parameters to the call
wrong
and the IOCTL silently failed.
Anyway, this leads me to a new question. After I have created new
partitions, the DiskManager applet won’t display them until i either
reboot
the machine or restart the Logical Disk Manager service. It seems to me
that
restarting this service is kind of a heavy handed approach to this. Is
there
a call or an IOCTL that will direct the disk manager to refresh itself?
Thanks,
Don
