am trying to change the sector size from 512 to 2048 of my swap partition.
# fdisk -b 2048 /dev/mapper/fedora-swap
and then I try to write to it gives me the following message.
The partition table has been altered. Calling ioctl() to re-read
partition table. Re-reading the partition table failed.: Invalid
argument
partition fdisk block-device

I think you have to "dismount" swap with the command
swapoff /dev/mapper/fedora-swap
fdisk -b 2048 /dev/mapper/fedora-swap
swapon /dev/mapper/fedora-swap
I am not sure about syntax then man swapoff.
