FYI, I found geom_vol_ffs via the bsdcan-04.slides.geom.pdf page 23, and
after not seeing geom_vol_cd9660 (the obvious name following from the
slides) started to build my own (using geom_vol_ffs as base, obviously).
I found geom_label because I had some locking problems and was searching
for sample code IIRC.

Instead of removing geom_vol_ffs without any traces, could it be helpful
to link geom_vol_ffs manpage (there is none currently) to glabel?
