[...] I'm using it on a big RAID, but that RAID is not a boot disc. I'm using it because the DOS partition table won't cope with a drive over 2TB in size. I had to recompile my Linux kernel to turn on the GPT support, too. And I think I needed to use gparted to partition it; fdisk doesn't really cope (but doesn't fail in a particulaly helpful way, either). I've got to say that gparted's ergonomics leave a little to be desired:-( Fdisk's defaults are more friendly.
