Hi,

I have a missing Recovery partition... kind of.

A while ago I activated FileVault on my rMBP and I understand that mucks around with CoreStorage volumes, it's now disabled.

When I was holding down the [OPT] key on boot up I wasn't getting a visual display of my Recovery Partition. So I followed these instructions:-

diskutil cs list

and then

diskutil coreStorage revert lvUUID

where lvUUID is the last lvUUID reported by the previous Terminal command.


On [OPT] bootup I now get Macintosh HD and EFI, but no Recovery HD. If I select EFI it does boot into Recovery. I want it to display the Recovery partition, how do I got about that?

Thanks.
