The only guess is that a controller incorrectly handles BIOS requests, when gptboot tries to read GPT header from the end of a large virtual disk. Thanks for your input on this Andrey. Just to clarify I am assuming that "da0 recovering is not needed" means that gpart has no problem reading and verifying the backup GPT header? (which is why its probably the BIOS for the RAID controller as the GPT is actually intact) ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Thanks Andrey, I've just recompiled /boot/gptboot after updating gpt.c and installed it via: gpart bootcode -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 da0 I still see "gptboot: invalid backup GPT header" on boot (but it does still boot).
