Error Stream from partedUtil while getting partitions

Hi, does anyone know the meaning of this message?

I see this message on my environment but I dont think I have problem with partition table as I dont have any problem using the disk.

Is it harmeless or do I have to fix something?

Thanx

../var/log/vmware/hostd-0.log:

Error Stream from partedUtil while getting partitions:

Error: The partition table on /vmfs/devices/disks/vmhba0:0:0:0 is inconsistent. There are many reasons why this might be the case.

However, the most likely reason is that Linux detected the BIOS geometry for /vmfs/devices/disks/vmhba0:0:0:0 incorrectly.

GNU Parted suspects the real geometry should be 20479/64/32 (not 2610/255/63). You should check with your BIOS first, as this may not be correct.

You can inform Linux by adding the parameter /devices/disks/vmhba0:0:0:0=20479,64,32 to the command line.

See the LILO or GRUB documentation for more information. If you think Parted's suggested geometry is correct,

you may select Ignore to continue (and fix Linux later). Otherwise, select Cancel (and fix Linux and/or the BIOS now).
