Dear all,

I've installed Ubuntu on 1TB SATA hdd, on my laptop. all works fine but 
gdisk and Ubuntu disk-utility  complaints about partition scheme and 
warns about performance degradation....do I need to worry about it ??,, 
if yes then  how to resolve this issue .. ??. Following[1] is the output 
of "gdisk" command for reference.

Caution: invalid backup GPT header, but valid main header; regenerating
backup header from main header.
