Description of problem: As we know, Huge disk/LUN(>2TB) and GPT label disk is becoming normal in now days and "fdisk" not work well with those devices. Current version of SOS does not print GPT partitions. I suggest we can use parted to replace fdisk in the future sos versions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sos How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: Current version of SOS does not print GPT partitions. Expected results: SOS should contain GPT partitions info of all the block disks.
Current sos does not collect GPT partition table info. It will common while huge disk (1TB or 1.5TB ) is going to affordable.
parted's default print output is less useful than fdisk's since everything is rounded to "friendly" units. This makes cross matching to e.g. /proc/partitions, blockdev --getsize, /sys etc. more difficult and less precise. These tools don't have a large cost; we should collect both for the time being (upstream parted has discussed more flexible formatting options but these will not be available in RHEL5). Also, while I realise it's not part of this patch and is in the sos version this patch was generated from, that dumpe2fs looks a little worrying. Without a "-h" the block group output can grow quite large on a large file system (~256K/100G or so). Since the detailed output is rarely useful there doesn't seem to be much point in collecting this on every run.
