====== partprobe ======

  * [[Filesystems]]

''partprobe'' is used to have the kernel re-scan a block device to determine the partitions. Normally taken place after making changes in ''fdisk'', and a new partition is added that is beyond the current device nodes listed; fex: adding ''/dev/sda4'' in ''fdisk'' and the highest available on the filesystem is ''/dev/sd3''.
