I don't have a solution for you and wish I did but this sounds like an opportunity to make a feature request for both the gparted and fdisk developers. I have made feature requests in the past to open source software I use regularly and lo and behold, sometimes it is in the next release. One of the developers of either product may even have something in the works. Definitely worth an email to them if you don't find another solution.

I'm trying to expand an XFS partition on a raid. I've added the new drives and iscsi correctly recognizes them. The problem is that XFS was chosen as the file system which puts me in a catch-22. GNU parted doesn't support XFS and fdisk doesn't support the GUID partition table that parted writes out. I can't use xfs_growfs to expand the drive until the partition table has been expanded first. Anybody know of a partition editor for Linux that understands GPT partition tables and XFS? I can't back up the drive, wipe it and rebuild because I don't have a spare 3TB of disk space kicking around.
