Hi

Those message are normal no need to worry about those these error are because of partition 1 is already added in the system before partition 2 is added.

once check the partitions are created or not, and are you trying to create fifth partition or what

show me the output of

#fdisk -l

#7

@raghuu

I have created fourth partition. While updating the partprobe i have received that error. Pls find the
fdisk -l output.

I need to know whether this partition are updated to kernal or not

#8

Check with
#cat /proc/partitions
It will show if it is updated in kernel or not

After that fire

#partx -a /dev/sda

If it’s not updating then you have to take a rebbot
