Fedora 16s move to GPT by default on BIOS hardware invites this particular problem, and exposes the hole in parted's handling. I think this decision should be walked back in F17. MBR for BIOS hardware when the disk is 2.2TB or less. I see more disadvantages and problems of GPT on BIOS hardware, than advantages, in particular when the disk size is less than 2.2TB.
