I know gparted is not great... I attempted to port our patchset to newer 
versions a long time ago but it was too much work...

The issue is gparted dumps core on the 2020.10 Live Image. It works on the 
2017.10 Live Image and the 2020.10 installed system. I'm going to look very 
closely at format as I think it might serve for EFI/GPT labels more sensibly. I 
can see no reason for having 128 partitions. And I did manage to get a 
traditional Sun partition table with 9 slots and an EFI label on a 5 TB disk. 
IIRC I had to format it in Win 7 and then relabel it with format(1m).

I just bought an HP Z840 with 1x 14 core E5-2690 V4 on ebay. I need to add 64 
GB of DRAM which may be a bit of a hassle because of the global chip shortage. 
I'm planning on 4x 4 TB disks in RAIDZ2 configuration. A single slice if 
booting a RAIDZ2 pool with a disk missing is reliable.

Have Fun!
