since there are mounted partitions from that drive, the kernel did not
re-read the partition table. you will need to reboot first.
Hi.
I just noticed that I'm a little short on swap space, so I decided to
add another partition on sdb. I added the partition, and now the
partition table looks like:
Disk /dev/sdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 255 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device BootStart End
