Linux - Redhat Fedora
Thumb Drive - Sandisk 4GB micro
Error: Warning: re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument. The kernel still uses
the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot.
Steps:
fdisk -l (shows thumbdrive as /dev/sdb1)
Created 3 partitions - Part 1 = 50M, Part 2 = 512MB, Part 3 = 3.456GB
fdisk /dev/sdb1 (/dev/sdb1 boot=*, start=1, end = 7965, blocks=4013865, ID=6, system=W95 fat32)
n [enter], P [enter], 1 [enter], [enter], +50M [enter], n [enter], p [enter], 2 [enter], [enter] (default =14), +512M [enter], n [enter], p [enter], 3 [enter] (default 42), [enter] (last cyl - 1019), A, 1, t, 2 , 82, p, w
After I press p - it prints the following configuration:
/dev/sdb1p1 boot *, start = 1, end = 13, blocks = 51150, ID = 83, Linux
/dev/sdb1p2 boot , start = 14, end = 141, blocks = 503936, ID = 82, Linux swap / solaris
/dev/sdb1p3 boot , start = 142, end = 1019, blocks = 3456686, ID = 83, Linux
After I press w - to write to the partitioh it gives me the error:
Error: Warning: re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument. The kernel still uses
the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot.
When I reboot and try to format I get the following error: The device apparently does not exist ...
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1p1 (gives the above error)
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 - seems to work, but I can't access the individual partitions.
also, if I do an fdisk -l it still shows the drive as w95 fat 32. What am I doing wrong.
