Nope, doesn't work for me still. It's the root partition I'm trying to resize so if I delete then recreate to larger size, partprobe still fails then if I reboot it won't start as it can't find the root partition. As Barry suggested, I don't think you can reread the root partition.
Hang on, if you recreated root's partition at the same starting point it wouldn't struggle to find it would it? Are you *sure* you're making the partition in *exactly* the same place? I'm just wondering if the partition was carefully byte aligned, then you're just using fdisk and misplacing it?
