Unless you want to boot from the new disks, you should be able to use
GPT on them. Are you sure you're using GRUB legacy?

What about adding disks to this system? Must they be partitioned MBR or can I
use GPT on the additional disks. (I haven't used GPT before, so this has me
stumped).
Current setup is Arch booting from grub (grub2) on 1T raid1 mdadm array. I
have a pair of 3T drives I want to add to the system. (as a 3T raid1 mdadm array).
I want to use the entire disk in a single partition which is why I want to
partition the disks GPT (leaving 100M unpartitioned at the end).
Can I use GPT on the new disks, or am I stuck with MBR?
