Last I saw of it (which was years ago, I don't use partitions anymore), if you changed a partition table on a block device which was in use, you had to reboot before the kernel would pick up the new partition table.

That adds a new step 6, 'reboot'. That's a totally unnecessary reboot with LVM.

Just run partprobe, always worked for me. I assume there is a reason why this isn't called automatically, but I don't have the slightest clue of what that may be.
