 Yes, what we have now is lesser evil. If we drop size comparison then
 GEOM_LABEL can pick anything from ad0, ad0s1 and ad0s1a when you have
 file system on top of ad0s1a and all start at offset 0.
 
 Unfortunately UFS metadata is not designed for automatic discovery, so
 there is not much we can do here.
