I was wondering if slicers isn't an overkill here as we don't need any
transformations.
We could only connect a consumer to destination provider to be able to
detect orphans and just create symbolic link to destination provider
from under /dev/vol/... What do you think?
In addition it will clarify the source provider if someone is interested.

I can handle this if you agree with me and reimplement existing
geom_vol_ffs to be able to handle many label formats in clean way.
