Unable to repartition non-mounted SD card
“Misaligned partition” - Should I do repartition (how?)Cannot format micro sd cardFormatting 128GB SD card to ext4 with gpartedLibparted error when opening GPartedUnable to format my pendriveGParted accidentally deleted my /dev/sdb partitionError while formatting an SD card with GPartedfail create ext4 filesystem on micro sd cardNTFS format /dev/sda2 not working with gpartedUbuntu persistence error
I have a 64GB SD card which I'm trying to use for a Raspberry Pi. I've had some issues with it so I want to wipe it and start over. In order to do that I want to create a single FAT32-formatted partition on sdb.
sudo fdisk /dev/sdb appears to work fine up until the final w at which point it informs me:
The partition table has been altered.
Calling ioctl() to re-read the partition table.
Re-reading the partition table failed.: Device or resource busy
The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot or after you run partprobe(8) or kpartx(8).
I also tried sufo cfdisk /dev/sdb, which appeared to work - but when I used gparted the GUI says that the File System is "unknown". If I attempt to use gparted to format it to FAT32, I get an error message:
Libparted Error
Partition(s) 1, 2 on /dev/sdb have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes
Clicking ignore on that message aborts the operation.
The output of umount /dev/sdb is umount: /dev/sdb: not mounted
I'm at a loss. What can I do to to format and repartition this SD?
