% Did parted tell the kernel to reread the partition table?

Well, I thought that it did, since I kept seeing the new size plus saw
the larger partition, but I admit that I don't know, because ...

% blockdev --getsz /dev/md0p1 will tell us the kernel's view of how big
% md0p1 is right now.
% 
% unmount, blockdev --rereadpt /dev/md0, try again(?)
