The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 18928.
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)

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.
此时使用fdisk命令看不到新建的分区信息，可以使用partprobe命令解决这个问题而不用重启系统，因为partprobe可以使kernel重新读取分区信息，从而避免重启系统。
