Hello parted developers!

I hope you're well. Steps to reproduce the bug I just found

# script start
(zpool destroy rootPool1 ; losetup -D ; rm -rf disk* ) &> /dev/null

set -xe

uname -a
partprobe --version
zpool --version

fallocate -l 3G disk1
sgdisk -Z -n1:1M:+1023M -t1:8300 disk1 &> /dev/null
losetup -Pf disk1

lsblk /dev/loop0
sgdisk -p /dev/loop0

zpool create -R /mnt rootPool1 /dev/loop0p1

sgdisk -d1 -n1:1M:+2G -t1:8300 /dev/loop0 &> /dev/null
echo "CORRECT REPORT HERE (2G)"
sgdisk -p /dev/loop0
partprobe

echo "INCORRECT REPORT HERE (1G)"
lsblk /dev/loop0

echo "CORRECT REPORT HERE (2G)"
partprobe /dev/loop0
lsblk /dev/loop0
# script end
