Writing changes[edit]
Command (m for help): w The partition table has been altered. Failed to remove partition 1 from system: Device or resource busy Failed to add partition 1 to system: Device or resource busy Failed to add partition 2 to system: Device or resource busy The kernel still uses the old partitions. The new table will be used at the next reboot. Syncing disks.
