Best/easiest way to manipulate disks >2TB. Small tool. Please add.

What can it do that sys-block/parted can't?

The only thing I am aware of is convert between MBR and GPT without dataloss, which is kind of uninteresting for >2TB drives as they should be GPT from the start anyway.

This is already  done for the minimal CDs (amd64 / x86) - check bug 380799
What else is missing?
