>Description:
This happens after reboot. All the labels on the external USB 450GB HDD, which is gjournaled, are erased.  This drive I know works fine and am pretty sure it's a software issue.  I thought this was a fluke, but I'm reporting this bug after it happened for the 2nd time.  I've been able to recover the data by relabeling the disk w/ the same sizes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Reboot
>Fix:
If you know the exact label sizes, just renter and untoggle newfs.
