And since you said in follow-ups to your other post that you were able
to create the data providers anew, and that you had zeroed out the
disk before creating them, then why not use "newfs -r" with an
appropriate number (2 reserved sectors?), in your  newfs/gjournal
label -f/tunefs -J sequence, to reduce the chance of overwriting
something important.
