Yes, it's GPT:-

    Disk /dev/sda: 931.51 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors
    Disk model: ST31000528AS    
    Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
    Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
    Disklabel type: gpt
    Disk identifier: 05A70E4F-8C16-49F4-B1B3-1A47C2A5EAED

    Device       Start        End    Sectors  Size Type

(There's an 8Tb USB drive as well, this is my backup system which
lives in the garage, quite a way away from the house)
