GPT fdisk (aka gdisk) by Roderick W. Smith, rodsmith@rodsbooks.com
This software is intended as a (somewhat) fdisk-workalike program for
GPT-partitioned disks. Specific advantages of gdisk, cgdisk and
sgdisk include:
* Edit GUID partition table (GPT) definitions in Linux, FreeBSD, MacOS X,
or Windows
* Convert MBR to GPT or back without data loss
* Convert BSD disklabels to GPT without data loss
* Create hybrid MBR, which permits GPT-unaware
OSes to access up to three GPT partitions on the disk
* Repair damaged GPT data structures
* The ability to specify sector-exact partition sizes
* Clear identification of the number of unallocated sectors on a disk
