Hi, I hit this while writing a shell script for automatically partition a device. Is there any particular reason for sfdisk to return 0, even when re-reading the partition table fails with the following message? I could find no explicit reason neither in the man page nor in this list's archives. Re-reading the partition table ... BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy The command to re-read the partition table failed. Run partprobe(8), kpartx(8) or reboot your system now, before using mkfs This is not a matter of why re-reading fails. Just wondering why this condition if not reported with a non-zero return value to the shell. Same result when calling sfdisk with -R on a in-use partition. If I miss a particular explanation behind this, please let me know. Otherwise I can try to submit a patch making sfdisk return 1 on failing re-read operations.
