Mac can't read GPT ?

Hi,


I'm fixing my fiends USB drive.

AFIK it was inserted into Windows, and partition were corrupted.


I did manage to fix GUID headers with gpt_surgeon.pym but then mac did got messy, and sth happend,


Now Disk Utility Tool show's only 2 partitions out of three...


I do have a copy of my gpt header, and i did restore it with gdisk, but eventhough I can see partitons, mac (diskutil) still sees only 2 of them


HOW MAC INITIALIZE DISK, WHY CAN'T IT READS GPT




sh-3.2# diskutil list /dev/disk1
/dev/disk1
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.7 Ti disk1
1: Apple_HFS 128.0 Mi disk1s1
2: Apple_HFS 2.7 Ti disk1s2
sh-3.2# gpt -r -vv show disk1
gpt show: disk1: mediasize=3000592981504; sectorsize=512; blocks=5860533167
gpt show: disk1: PMBR at sector 0
gpt show: disk1: Pri GPT at sector 1
gpt show: disk1: Sec GPT at sector 5860533166
