Gene effectively shoots himself in the foot by using gparted (GUI)
instead of, say, gdisk where it's easy to paste what was done, or
for someone, say me, to post an example:
# gdisk /dev/sdz

Final checks complete. About to write GPT data. THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING

Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): y
OK; writing new GUID partition table (GPT) to /dev/sdb.
The operation has completed successfully.
