understanding partprobe failure

Hi Ilya,

I'm seeing a partprobe failure right after a disk was zapped with sgdisk --clear --mbrtogpt -- /dev/vdb:

partprobe /dev/vdb failed : Error: Partition(s) 1 on /dev/vdb have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes.

waiting 60 seconds (see the log below) and trying again succeeds. The partprobe call is guarded by udevadm settle to prevent udev actions from racing and nothing else goes on in the machine.

Any idea how that could happen ?

Cheers
