RHCE RHCT EXAM :create disk paritions without reboot in RHEL4

Create partition on RHEL :Redhat Enterprise Linux without reboot :

[root@ice ~]# fdisk /dev/sda

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 2610.
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)

Command (m for help): p

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.

Finally type partprobe to make parition change available to Redhat enterprise Linux (RHEL4) without reboot :

[root@ice ~]# partprobe /dev/sda
