Howto get rid of additional kernel messages on console?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

When we reread the partition table using partprobe we see the messages from bellow, even when we redirect stdin and stderr to /dev/null:

[root@localhost ~]# partprobe &>>/dev/null
 vdb: vdb1 vdb2
 vdd: vdd1
[root@localhost ~]#

When doing the same through ssh the messages are not seen:

[root@localhost ~]# partprobe &>>/dev/null
[root@localhost ~]#

How can we disable the additional messages on console?
