Bug Description

After installing OS in a SW RAID1 disk (this disk is created in UEFI setup - via Intel VMD/VROC), the dmesg shows the following GPT messages after the installation and booting into the OS.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 8.715400] GPT:Primary header thinks Alt. header is not at the end of the disk.
[ 8.716425] GPT:419430399 != 7814037167
[ 8.717422] GPT:Alternate GPT header not at the end of the disk.
[ 8.718224] GPT:419430399 != 7814037167
[ 8.719007] GPT: Use GNU Parted to correct GPT errors.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Note]
1. The issue does not happen when installing OS in a SW RAID0 disk, a SW RAID5 disk or a SW RAID10 disk.

2. Kernel community had the patch submission/discussion about this issue (in 2016):
https://<email address hidden>/.
However, the patch is still pending there due to this feedback: https://<email address hidden>/

As discussed elsewhere, These are warnings, not errors, and the only proposal to resolve this was rejected for solid reasons several years ago with no apparent follow-on attempts to resolve the root cause, there's not much we'll do here.

It was said by Kernel that these are safe to ignore.
