Hi,
In partprobe/partprobe.c it says:
Inform the OS of partition table changes.
-d, --no-update don't update the kernel
To me "updating the kernel" means to install a new version of the
kernel. But it seems that "don't inform the kernel" is the
intended meaning. If so, then a better long form of the option
would be "--dry-run".
Also, in the first line it speaks of "OS", and then later of
"kernel", while it seems to mean the same thing. Better use the
same word in both cases then:
Inform the operating system about partition table changes.
-d, --dry-run do not actually inform the operating system
