One of my Linux distros is openSUSE Leap 15. I also have Tumbleweed
that does not have the issue here.
I have been used to openSUSE (since v11, when I started using it)
overwriting BIBM when grub updates. A quick reinstall of BIBM returns
everything to normal.
Running a recent update, when I got to reinstalling BIBM, the
installer behaved as if it were a new install, asking about limiting
primary partitions.
On entering maintenance mode, no other partition other than Leap 15
was visible. I don't know what happened this time, but I had to run a
restore.
I have asked for information on the openSUSE forum, but as is
typically my luck, the only people replying have not had the issue.
I will have to remove Leap 15 unless I can find out what is going on.
Any ideas?

I wonder what happened here?
Re: I wonder what happened here?
DrT,
I just installed two openSUSE Leap 15.0 OS to a HD boot-managed by BIU. They are booting with Secure Boot enabled.
How can I stress grub? I doubt I can as grub isn't installed near the Partition Table on a GPT disk.

It was a real "brown trousers" moment here. Thank goodness I started
playing with my Linux distros first thing so my nightly backup was
still current.

It would have been terrifying.
If it happens again you could try undeleting your partitions. It could save a restore.

That is not as easy as it sounds. The names get lost and it takes
quite a while to identify and name them correctly. I did toy with the
idea of giving my partitions all different sizes so they could be
identified much more easily. Will give it a go next time
though...thanks for the suggestion.
TBH, much easier and faster to run an IfL restore and use one of my
others during the restore.
