I just put a new SSD in my desktop and restored my time machine backup on it. After that, I found my system file system was still HFS(I guess it was probably because I was restoring the high sierra system that was originally installed on the HDD, whose file system was HFS.) To convert hfs to apfs, I boot into recovery and type in the terminal

Code:
diskutil apfs convert diskXsY

And I indeed successfully converted it into APFS. However, this seemed to damaged my recovery partition.

Here is my diskutil list result. It shows that my recovery partition is only 2MB, indicating it is probably damaged.

Code:
diskutil list

   4:                APFS Volume Recovery                2.6 MB     disk3s4

So my question is whether it is possible to restore my recovery partition?

Thank u in advance!
