Default Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device

Hai,

Thanks for sorting out my old issues. I have just added new disk to my remote Cent OS Linux box. They told me to create partition using fdisk /dev/sdb command

I have created partition but when I save changes I get an error:

Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy

How do i fix this problem? Is my disk is bad?

TIA
