这几天格式化硬盘，记录一下用到的命令：

[root@db ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 253981.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

The partition table has been altered!

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy.
The kernel still uses the old table.
The new table will be used at the next reboot.
Syncing disks.

此时，分区里看不到新建的磁盘分区，提示通过重启才可以重用分区表，此时可以通过partprobe探测硬盘：
