/usr/sbin/parted -s '/dev/hda' unit cyl mkpart logical ext2 4961 6135
Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/hda5 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/hda5 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.
When I last saw this error, it was caused by the 'desynchronization' between on-disk partition table and it's representation as seen by the kernel (/proc/partitions). This does not seem to be the same case since 'parted print' and 'cat /proc/partitions' report the same partition layout on /dev/hda before the first parted warning. Another strange thing is that despite parted's warning the kernel seems to be well informed about new partition (it shows up in /proc/partitions). Looking into the kernel sources shows that the only thing that may trigger this error (ioctl() returning EBUSY) are overlapping partitions...
