Supposedly the first drive should already have been 80Gb but:

mars@fbsd11vm1:~ % geom disk list
...
Geom name: ada0
Providers:
1. Name: ada0
   Mediasize: 42949672960 (40G)
   Sectorsize: 512
   Mode: r3w3e6
   descr: VBOX HARDDISK
   ident: VB1e5e1cab-a4c47c87
   rotationrate: 0
   fwsectors: 63
   fwheads: 16

Geom name: ada1
Providers:
1. Name: ada1
   Mediasize: 64424509440 (60G)
   Sectorsize: 512
