[Solved] How to fix "Alternate GPT is invalid, using primary GPT"?

[Xflash2006]

In the kernel logs provided by the dmesg command it says "Alternate GPT is invalid, using primary GPT.".
If I verify the /dev/nvme0n1 disk with the gdisk command I get:

Code: Select all

Problem: The secondary header's self-pointer indicates that it doesn't reside
at the end of the disk. If you've added a disk to a RAID array, use the 'e'
option on the experts' menu to adjust the secondary header's and partition
table's locations.

Problem: main GPT header's current LBA pointer (1) doesn't
match the backup GPT header's alternate LBA pointer(500118191).

Problem: main GPT header's backup LBA pointer (500118191) doesn't
match the backup GPT header's current LBA pointer (1).
The 'e' option on the experts' menu may fix this problem.

Problem: The backup partition table overlaps the backup header.
Using 'e' on the experts' menu may fix this problem.

Is it sufficient to execute the "e" command from the expert menu?
Expert menu commands

Code: Select all

a	set attributes
b	byte-swap a partition's name
c	change partition GUID
d	display the sector alignment value
e	relocate backup data structures to the end of the disk
f	randomize disk and partition unique GUIDs
g	change disk GUID
h	recompute CHS values in protective/hybrid MBR
i	show detailed information on a partition
j	move the main partition table
l	set the sector alignment value
m	return to main menu
n	create a new protective MBR
o	print protective MBR data
p	print the partition table
q	quit without saving changes
r	recovery and transformation options (experts only)
s	resize partition table
t	transpose two partition table entries
u	replicate partition table on new device
v	verify disk
w	write table to disk and exit
z	zap (destroy) GPT data structures and exit
?	print this menu

I executed the "e" command from the expert menu but this problem remains:

Code: Select all

Problem: main GPT header's current LBA pointer (1) doesn't
match the backup GPT header's alternate LBA pointer(500118191).

How can I solve it?

As root:

Code: Select all

sgdisk -v /dev/nvme0n1

sgdisk will detect the error and repair it.

Good luck!

With the command you gave me the problem was solved.
Thank you!
