I believe you can have the partition table reread while one or more of the partitions have mounted filesystems on them in the 3.6 kernel now.

That may be a reason for the attempted change in f18. The ability to extend a partition online without needing lvm.

Posted this further above, but this has become a rather lengthy comment thread.. just run partprobe. I've used this with mounted in-use FSs many times without any problems.
