The current state is simply wrong, because user can do something what
cannot work and is not documented anywhere.
It is Ok in UNIX way, in general. You should be able to shoot your
leg, it is good :)
I am sorry for my late reply.
Foot shooting is OK, if somebody wants to shoot his foot, but I don't
want to shoot my foot if I am aiming at my head :)
But if geom_label doesn't reduce its provider to count its own
metadata, it looks like a bug!
As Ivan Voras explained, it is not a bug, it is just a matter of mixing
two things thant can't coexist together. So the problem is that it is
not mentioned anywhere in the FreeBSD docs. (Thank you Ivan for your
explanation!)
And as somebody else already mentioned in this thread, it should be
documented in manpages and Handbook and gpart should show warning
message if user is trying to put GPT on non real disk devices.
As is mentioned in the thread "Memstick image differences between 8.x
and 9.x", the GPT brings more problems by requirement of second table at
the end of the device (so disk image cannot be easily written by dd on
bigger disk)
