Yeah, but I'd be surprised if Linux polls all the disks every so often,
asking them how large they are, to see if they have changed. It's more
likely that it just checks disk sizes at boot time. That said, maybe fdisk
changing a partition could make it re-read the new partition table & disk
geometry.
