I am having a problem with a customer's server. Every time I add a new partition, I must reboot. This server is production and rebooting is presenting a problem. I use gparted or fdisk and both see this problem. I tried using partprobe but that did not help.
I believe the trouble is caused by the hardware RAID?
I don't see that is a problem, but expected behavior. If you are adding a partition to a storage device, you should reboot to make sure the kernel is properly acknowledging it.
A better question would be, why are you adding so many partitions that this has become a problem? Perhaps you should be looking into something like LVM, rather than making so many changes to the physical disk layout.

OK, LVM looks interesting. If I use it, can the different partitions be isolated? In other word, can I use them for vituralized guest that need to be separated?
