I have to agree with Steve. glabel has limitations that causes me to move
away from it when I moved to head before 10.0. I am trying to remember the
exact issue, but I know that gpart proved to be a much better solution. I'm
not sure why /dev/gpt is any different from /dev/label. (Guess that's why
the smiley.)
