Package: gparted Version: 0.7.0-1 Severity: normal gparted suggests an msdos partition table by default. Using another type requires opening the 'advanced' menu. As 3TB drives are now affordable, I think gparted should choose a different default for a drive of more than 2TB. I used the gtp type, but the maintainers are in a better position to choose a default. But the msdos default is guaranteed not to permit the creation of a 3TB partition, and that serves nobody.
