It's true that fdisk now supports GPT. But it would be new to me that,=20 unlike gdisk, it can switch drives from MBR to GPT or vice versa without=20 data loss. Furthermore, gptfdisk can also rescue super drives or=20 partitions. Then the compatibility with GPT and drives larger than 2TB=20 is a lot better.
