有时因为系统的分区表正忙,所以需要重新启动系统才能使新的分区表生效。命令如下:
Command (m for help): w
#保存并退出
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
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.
#要求重新启动,才能格式化
Syncing disks.
如果不想重新启动,则可以使用 partprobe 命令
[root@localhost ~]# partprobe
如果这个命令不存在,则请安装 parted-2.1-18.el6.i686 这个软件包。partprobe 命令不是必需的,如果没有提示重启系统,则直接格式化即可。
