I'm curious about the safety of using the mbr2gpt utility. Has anyone actually used it? I have a database server that was initially set up using MBR on a Dell RAID array, and I'm considering making the switch. I'd appreciate any experiences or opinions you might have. Thanks!

From what I've seen, it's pretty reliable when used on virtual machines. I haven't tested it extensively on physical hardware, though, so I can't speak to that. Just make sure you back everything up before trying it out.
Backing up is definitely key. I've read that mbr2gpt can handle the conversion quite smoothly if you follow the instructions carefully. Just ensure that your BIOS firmware is also up to date.
That's good to hear! Any specific tips for the process? I'm a bit nervous about potential data loss during conversion.
