Description: Linux 5.8 (probably all versions) reports wrong info about partitions.


Additional info:
* package version(s)Linux 5.8.9-arch2-1
* config and/or log files etc. standard
*

Steps to reproduce:
partprobe /dev/sda
Error: Partition(s) 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 on /dev/sda have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes.

Disk has three partitions, but all programs receive this info and most of this (working with disks) report an error.
