The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16: Device or
resource busy. The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be
used at the next reboot.
WARNING: If you have created or modified any DOS 6.x partitions, please see
the fdisk manual page for additional information.
Syncing disks.
===========================================================================
Now we've got both partitions, next step is formatting them.
NOTE: If the partitions (/dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc2) do not exist, you should unplug the card and plug
it back in. Linux will now be able to detect the new partitions.

NOTE: For convenience, you can add the -L option to the mkfs.ext3 command to assign a volume
label to the new ext3 filesystem. If you do that, the new (automatic) mount point under /media when
you insert that SD card into some Linux hosts will be based on that label.
If there's no label, the new mount point will most likely be a long hstring, so assigning a label makes
manual mounting on the host more convenient.
