	~~Use {{code\|partprobe}}~~ to reload the partition tables ~~on all disks, or {{code\|partprobe~~ /dev/~~sdx}}~~ to ~~reload only a specific device~~.		After changing partition information on a disk, you might need to tell Linux to reload the partition tables in order for the device partitions (eg. /dev/sda1) to show up. Below are some options to tell Linux to re-read the partition information.

			!Description
			!Example
			\|-
			\|Use <code>partprobe</code> to reload partition tables on all disks, or <code>partprobe $device</code> to reload a specific device.
			\|{{Highlight
			\| code = # partprobe
			# partprobe /dev/sda
			\| lang = terminal
			}}
			\|-
			\|Use hdparm. <code>hdparm -z $device</code>.
			\|{{Highlight
			\| code = # hdparm -z /dev/sda
			\| lang = terminal
			}}
			\|-
			\|Use partx. Alternatively, kpartx might also work, though that's usually used with device mappers.
			\|{{Highlight
			\| code = # partx -a /dev/sda
			# kpartx -a /dev/sda
			\| lang = terminal
			}}
			\|-
			\|Interface with the kernel directly and trigger a rescan of a specific block device.
			\|{{Highlight
			\| code = # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/device/rescan
			\| lang = terminal
			}}
