This has nothing to do with GPT. The problem is that the capacity
reported by the drive is truncated:
May 3 18:19:06 relampago3 kernel: [ 3948.472796] sd 7:0:0:0: [sdf]
1565565872 512-byte logical blocks: (801 GB/746 GiB)
Is the hdparm produced via the USB interface or by plugging the internal
drive into an SATA/eSATA port?
Either way... it is offtopic for the linux-efi mailing list.

USB SATA docking station which works out very well on windows.

Sorry! I didn't know this was a list I thought it was the developer
email address.
I think that linux-efi is the most appropriate one to send this
message because GPT is included in EFI modules, I didn't see any other
about GPT.
Cheers.
