Linux - switch your disks to GPT partitions

 My main storage disk was giving me a lot of trouble.  It was partitioned with mbr and it kept losing the mbr record.  Now, there is a new partitioning method call GPT, and it uses a UUID for each partition.  Neat.  I moved all the important files to a different disk and then used gparted to do a new partition table.  

Works great, and it is the new thing for disks larger than 2tb.
