If so, GPT support for data drives should have been in openSUSE for a long while now. (ie. maybe 11.1) and it not working is clearly a bug somewhere along the line. Possibly specific to the drive.
YaST supports GPT since several (7-8) years. It was added for IA64. The hard disk in bug #617288 has a MSDOS partition table.
As to GPT boot drives, obviously that requires a EFI compliant system.
This is not entirely true. For GPT the parted on openSUSE also
writes an MSDOS partition table to allow booting with grub. It's
likely not tested well since most hard disks still have an MSDOS
partition table.
