I have a couple of SiI 3132 controllers (Masscool XWT-PCIE10) with GPT partitioned disks, and the last sectors still appear to contain the Sec GPT headers after several reboots. > How to reset this state?

You could see if there is a better version of BIOS code available for your card. <KLUDGE> If all else fails, you could create a backup copy of the last sector and have dd(1) restore it from rc.local or cron @reboot. </KLUDGE> _______________________________________________ freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
