Title: partprobe command
Post by: mcollier on May 26, 2011, 02:22:17 PM

Is there a tinycore command equivalent for partprobe?  Currently I'm having to reboot after modifying partitions.

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks curaga,

I'm getting a message:

hdparm: BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy

Anything I can do to eliminate this error?

I should add that I'm working within Virtualbox.

Same here with bare metal (but there are mounted partitions on that device).

Works for me, of course everything should be unmounted when doing so. But doesn't your partitioning program also do that? Cfdisk and fdisk do.
