Subject: [PATCH] Try to ensure kernel is informed of partition table changes.

There is an unidentified condition which stops udevd from calling the
BLKRRPART ioctl when the "use entire disk" solution is selected. Adding
a udevadm settle' call appears to fix it (although it may just be the
extra delay that does the job).
