Why partprobe gives error messages when running without arguments?
Issue
- After creating new partition, running the partprobe results in following error messages:
Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/xxx -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/xxx until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
