Description of problem: Currently diskdrake only allows to create partitions, even in expert mode it does not offer to re-format a disk from MBR to GPT partition table or vice-versa. From what I understood, the UEFI support that was added to installer should imply that diskdrake is able to create partitions on GPT disks, and it should also be able to create a GPT partition table for UEFI installation on a blank disk, right?

Maarten how's going on your disk manager tool implementation?
This has nothing to do with UEFI. I don't see the need for switching between MBR & GPT for general users. For rare usage, people can use gparted. And anyway, with most new discs not being usable with MBR due to their size, this is not really an issue
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => WONTFIX
For clarification - so e.g. for a fresh installation in UEFI mode on a disk bigger then 2TB it will be formatted via GPT by the installer, but diskdrake itself will not be able to do that? Sorry does not make much sense to me, but so be it.
