[Bug 1059297] Re: Please add support for GPT disks

[Steve Riley]

Dave, this is for KDE Partition Manager, not Parted. I haven't actually
experimented with Parted, although a quick check shows that Parted at
least recognizes GPT:

steve at t520:~$ sudo parted
GNU Parted 2.3
Using /dev/sda
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) p                                                                
Model: ATA M4-CT256M4SSD2 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 256GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt

Number  Start   End    Size    File system     Name  Flags
 1      20.5kB  537MB  537MB   fat32                 boot
 2      537MB   246GB  246GB   ext4
 3      246GB   256GB  9637MB  linux-swap(v1)

Also, I've learned that KDE has added GPT support to Partition Manager
in SVN (see KDE bug report and also Claydoh's comment in the forum
thread), so now we just need to get the version in Ubuntu/Kubuntu
updated.

Title:
  Please add support for GPT disks

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The version of KDE Partition Manager currently packaged cannot
  manipulate partitions on GPT disks. They appear in the UI but nothing
  can be done with them. See
  http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?60281&p=310429&viewfull=1#post310429

  Such support is becoming more necessary as the number of computers
  with UEFI increases.
