Now my first reaction would be to install gdisk (yum install gdisk) and use this to handle GTP partitioning. But I'm curious. How "experimental" (e. g. prone to blow up in my face) is fdisk really? So far, I've only used it for MBR-style partitioning.
I have a follow-up remark.
Before CentOS, I've been using Slackware as my main OS on servers and desktops. My policy for partitioning and formatting was always "Keep It Simple", e. g. :
* use traditional fdisk with DOS-MBR style partitioning on systems that supported it
* use GPT-style partitioning on systems that required it (like huge drives or EFI systems)
As far as I can tell, the CentOS installer is doing something similar, but "automagically". Please correct me if I'm wrong.
