So do you have any recommendations? I would like to 'trust' the new version of fdisk but I can not risk torpedoing myself. I have 2 more drives I need to 'phase out' at some point; but they will liklely be with 1.5TB drives.
The new layout you've got is meant for SSDs and drives with 4K sectors; the old layout is fine for you.
My gut tells me that i should whilst I have other drives the same size use the same paratermeters... then when i have a bigger drive that is definately not going to cause any size issues let fdisk do its magic. So following that premsis is there any down side to copy the partition table off another drive?
I can't think of one. For backup, if I remember correctly Doug Ledford's hot-swap auto-rebuilding onto virgin drives work was going to create partition tables by copying them from existing drives (or by having the user copy the required partition table from a drive in advance).
