你可以使用一个叫做partprobe的工具。它包含在parted的rpm软件包中。在Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3上他的版本是parted-1.6。 partprobe 是一个可以修改kernel中分区表的工具。可以使kernel重新读取分区表。如下命令可以查看你的系统是否安装了parted软件包
在Linux中使用fdisk命令进行分区时，有时会遇到“WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.The kernel still uses the old table.The new table will be used at the next reboot.”这种告警信息。如下所示

代码如下:
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk /dev/sde
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 18928. There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024, and could in certain setups cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

partprobe - inform the OS of partition table changes
DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the partprobe command.
partprobe is a program that informs the operating system kernel of partition table changes, by requesting that the operating system re-read the partition table.
