Not sure if in correct forum but placing this in the Scanner section as related to disks.
On one of my discs (physical disk as part of my DrivePool) it occasionally loses its GPT data rendering the disc as 'not initialised'. After a while (days) it comes back allowing the partitions and data to be seen again. Question: Why does this happen and how can I arrange things so it does not happen? Alternatively can I take a backup of the relevant GPT data (or MBR as the case may be) and then do a restore when it does happen?
Does Scanner check the integrity of the GPT(or MBR) info and flag things where necessary?
I suspect Diskpart provides a solution of some kind but for the life of me it is not obvious what Diskpart command(s) are appropriate.
