Unable to create 16 or more GPT partitions when running on Xen

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Cannot create 16 GPT partitions with parted:
Error: Partition(s) 16 on /dev/xvdf 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.
