When the new partition is formatted, an error message is indicated, and there is no such file or directory.

The device apparently does not exist; Didyou Specify it correctly?

The device apparently does not exist; Didyou Specify it correctly?

Workaround: Execute the partprobe command
The Partprobe is included in the RPM package of the parted.
Partprobe can modify the partition table in the kernel, allowing kernel to reread the partitioned table.
Therefore, you can use this command to create partitions and the system to recognize those partitions without restarting the machine.

To see if the command has been installed:
[Email protected]~]# Rpm-q parted
Packageparted is not installed

If the hint is not installed, you need to install parted
Install Command: #yum install parted #前提是保证你的虚拟机可以上网 to download the installation package from the network
[Email protected]~]# yum Install parted
