[SOLVED] GPT PMBR size mismatch when installing

Fixed:
1. running

parted -l

2. it is aware of the problem, and ask "Fix / Cancel"
3. choose Fix
4. Fixed

PS:
But I still known exactly why there is such a problem, because

(parted) align-check TYPE N

in every case reports "aligned",
I also check the START of every partition, each is 2048 sectors aligned.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The entire hard disk is used to install arch linux.

# parted /dev/nvme0n1
(parted) mktable gpt
(parted) quit
# fdisk -l
...
GPT PMBR size mismatch (aaaa != bbbb) will be corrected by write
...

Is fdisk reported a fake error?

BTW, if fdisk reported a fake error, is it safe to use cfdisk after parted?
