Happened to me once. Never solved it.

I had SuSE on the 4Gig drive (/dev/hdb) and 3 partitions on the 20Gig
drive (/dev/hda), which I used (temporarily) as an archive. 3 mount
points to /dev/hda, until I repartitioned the drive. Linux could
still mount the first partition because I hadn't messed with that. I
had resized the two last ones   =>  ended up with two "different"
partitions.

Is there perhaps a way to let linux know that the partition it needs
to access has an altered size? Could it be just that?
