For GPT, use gdisk as a substitute for fdisk.  gdisk 0.6.10 is available for CentOS 4 and 5 in the RPMforge third-party repository.  The version in Fedora 14 is 0.6.13, for comparison.  Output on my laptop:
[root at localhost ~]# gdisk /dev/sda -l
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.6.13

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: present

Found valid GPT with protective MBR; using GPT.
Disk /dev/sda: 976773168 sectors, 465.8 GiB
Logical sector size: 512 bytes

Don't know why the repeated 3s are there.
