Thanks. But it probably does not work. I called "z zap (destroy) GPT data structures and exit", re-created a MSDOS partition table and re-inserted the USB key (so that Linux scans the new partition table). But gdisk still complains about an invalid GPT:
mybox:~ # gdisk /dev/disk/by-id/usb-General_UDisk_1502050001210883950005-0:0 GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 1.0.1
Partition table scan: MBR: MBR only BSD: not present APM: not present GPT: not present
Where is it complaining about an *INVALID* GPT? It's telling you there is no GPT present. (And, because its primary purpose is to edit GPT disks, not MBR disks, it tells you it is doing an "in memory" conversion to create a GPT) So zap IS working as designed and documented.
