Recovery HD partition with El Capitan

Status
Not open for further replies.
Does the Recovery partition in High Sierra have to be mounted as APFS or can it stay as in post #1 of this thread as HFS?

In short does:

" sudo mount -t hfs /dev/disk0s3 /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/ "

become :
sudo mount -t apfs /dev/disk0s3 /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/

on 10.13.16 ?

or does it become :

sudo diskutil mount /dev/disk0s3

simply?
 
Basically my problem is that my Recovery partition has disappeared following a Time Machine restore, and I'm trying to get it back.

As suggested in my earlier post I did the simpler: "sudo diskutil mount /dev/disk0s3" . to mount the Recovery partition. But when I looked at the file system there, it was very different from what was suggested in post #1 of this thread:

The just mounted Recover partition contains these TWO directories:

:Recovery $ ll

total 0

drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 160 Sep 15 17:01 .
drwxr-xr-x@ 10 root wheel 320 Sep 16 21:54 ..
d-wx-wx-wt 4 root wheel 128 Sep 1 14:20 .Trashes
drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 416 Jul 9 19:14 6C97A77D-566E-335E-8481-50C871A14957
drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 416 Sep 15 17:17 6F9BA544-26EF-41D0-9757-9065DB9D744D

and both of these directories contain these files/directories (similar in both):

cd ../6F9BA544-26EF-41D0-9757-9065DB9D744D/
$ ls -l

drwxr-xr-x 13 root wheel 416 Sep 15 17:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 160 Sep 15 17:01 ..

Should I delete one of the upper directories?

6C97A77D-566E-335E-8481-50C871A14957

or

6F9BA544-26EF-41D0-9757-9065DB9D744D

Any suggestiions?
