10.3 gpart(8) strangeness

I dd'd FreeBSD-10.3-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img to a 4GB flash drive, and booted it into single-user mode where it appeared as da0. Then, to resize the GPT to the media (to make space for another partition): # gpart show da0 # gpart recover da0 # gpart show da0 which appeared to work: the second
