Bug#634243: RFP: gptfdisk -- GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)/GPT partitioning tools

Severity: wishlist

  Version         : 0.7.2

  Description     : GUID (Globally Unique Identifier)/GPT partitioning tools

GPT fdisk (consisting of the gdisk, sgdisk, and fixparts programs) is a set of 
text-mode partitioning tools for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows. The gdisk 
and sgdisk programs work on Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) Partition Table (GPT) 
disks, rather than on the more common (through 2011) Master Boot Record (MBR) 
partition tables. The fixparts program repairs certain types of damage to MBR 
disks and enables changing partition types from primary to logical and vice-versa.
