PROBLEM
The problem is that on newer GNU/Linux distributions, the libparted
library occasionally reports the following error message:
The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/sdb
(Device or resource busy). This means Linux won't know anything
about the modifications you made until you reboot. You should
reboot your computer before doing anything with /dev/sdb.

Hi,
I'm not sure, but it might be the same issue as discussed here:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539521
Comment #16 mentions two commits from parted-git; after posting this
comment, I found out that these two are not always enough to fix
the issue, so please add the quick and dirty patch attached to this
mail.
With these three patches, I was not able to reproduce -EBUSY anymore.
Thank you for the response Petr.
I will try out the two patches plus the one you emailed on a pristine
copy of parted-1.9.0. After running my tests I will report back here.
This problem also occurs with parted-2.1 as shown in the following link:
