I tried creating a new partition on a disk.
After the partition table was written, I got a message about the kernel still using the old partition table.
How do I get whatever system to register the new partition short of rebooting the box? _______________________________________________
Got to reboot if you change the partition that contains / mount or if the partition can not be locked for writing.
sfdisk -R ...
Used to do the trick. I can't remember if the device is needed. Man sfdisk will fill in the details.
