Yes, sorry to confuse you Andries.
I was about to reply to myself referring to precisely those two lines as "Brain Fart" (see, I learned something from David Miller ;).
Here is corrected version:
fdisk has written something and sync()-ed. then BLKRRPART ioctl returned EBUSY. (in 2.0.x and 2.2.x) then re-reading partition table running fdisk agains shows the partition table has changed. But running mkswap on one of the old partitions (which according to fdisk does not exist anymore) succeeds. However, rebooting and trying to swapon on this newly made partition fails with "Operation not supported by device".
Regards, Tigran.
