GPT [CORRUPT]

[balanga]

I have installed a FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE on an 8GB USB stick. It boots up OK but shows

GPT (7.5G)  [CORRUPT]

when I run gpart show /dev/da0. This suggests some sort of problem.

Should I try and fix this?

And we're supposed to guess what it says?

Perhaps gpart recover /dev/da0 can fix this. See the chapter titled "RECOVERING" in gpart(8).

This is often due to having overwritten the backup GPT table, or maybe using MBR tools on the PMBR, but it is best to figure out the setup before recovering.

Thanks - that worked

Well... if you overwrote the backup GPT with metadata from something else, then overwrote that by recovering the GPT, expect a surprise.
