Description of problem: gdisk-1.0.9-1.mga generates warnings of being unable generate a proper UUID. Looking for a solution, found this closed Fedora bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2082857#c2 which definitely solves it for me, i.e no warnings after patch and successfully converting the disk to GPT. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdisk-1.0.9-1.mga How reproducible: always for my test case. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gdisk to convert a MBR disk to a GPT one. # gdisk /dev/sda GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.9 Partition table scan: MBR: MBR only BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: not present *************************************************************** Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format in memory.
