partprobe - Update Disk Partitions




When you make changes to partitions using tools like parted or fdisk , those changes might not take effect until you reboot your system. If you want to avoid rebooting, you can use partprobe to notify the operating system's kernel about the changes to the storage device's partition table.

Example (Requires root privileges):
# partprobe /dev/sdb ←Update the partition table for /dev/sdb

For detailed usage of the partprobe command, you can refer to the provided link.
