While it is the FreeBSD 8 kernel that suggests "recovery": GEOM: da2: the secondary GPT table is corrupt or invalid. GEOM: da2: using the primary only -- recovery suggested. the FreeBSD 8 gpart apparently does not understand "recover": # gpart recover da2 gpart: Unknown command: recover. usage: gpart add [-b start] [-s size] -t type [-i index] [-l label] [-f flags] geom gpart bootcode [-b bootcode] [-p partcode] [-i index] [-f flags] geom gpart commit geom gpart create -s scheme [-n entries] [-f flags] provider gpart delete -i index [-f flags] geom gpart destroy [-f flags] geom gpart modify -i index [-l label] [-t type] [-f flags] geom gpart set -a attrib -i index [-f flags] geom gpart show [-lr] [geom ...] gpart undo geom gpart unset -a attrib -i index [-f flags] geom gpart help gpart list [name ...] gpart status [-s] [name ...] gpart load [-v] gpart unload [-v] I didn't find any mention of recovering from a missing or corrupted secondary GPT in either the FreeBSD 8 Handbook or the FreeBSD 8 gpart(8) manpage.
