linux paritition error
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I had a spare DOS partition lying around gathering dust and so I
wanted to partition to linux's ext2. Thw first thing I did was to
launch fdisk and delete the old partition (since I don't need those
files). I then added the a linux one in place of it and tried to
write to the table, but I receive the following error message:
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Syncing disks.
Re-read table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy
Reboot your system to ensure the partition table is updated.
I have Debian booting from /dev/hda3 and the partition I am trying
to make work is /dev/hda1.
Does anyone have an idea of how to go about fixing it?
I appreciate any help!
