Recovery Partition Visible from Finder

Hello,


I tried to do a fresh install from the recovery partition after upgrading to El Capitan. I wanted to zero out all the data in Disk Utility instead of a quick format. The option was not available anymore.


So I booted from a linux USB key and zeroed out the data only on the Macintosh HD partition, rebooted, went back in OS X's recovery mode and re-installed OS 10.11.


Now, my recovery partition is visible from the Finder. I wonder if that happened to anyone else or if somebody know what could have happened.


I plan to simply follow this Prevent a volume from mounting at startup to solve the problem.


Any thoughts?


Thanks you,

François

MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11), null
