Originally created by @Red-exe-Engineer on GitHub (Feb 20, 2024).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2617

I've noticed that whenever I run ollama create <name> -f </path/to/modelfile> the Ollama server needs to restart or wait for keep_alive to quit before the changes fully apply.
ollama show --modelfile <name> shows as being updated, however when trying to interact it seems like it's running the old modelfile.

Example: giving a model with the template {{ .Prompt }}, if you update the modelfile and overwrite the template the old one will stay loaded despite ollama show --template <model> and /show template saying otherwise.

I've tried to ask around on Discord without success, so I'm creating an issue. Please note that I'm running Ollama on Termux and have only done some testing, however I'm sure something's wrong.

I'll be away for a few hours, hope you guys find the issue!
