thank you very much. when i posted this issue a few weeks ago i was defenately
hitting a bug in geom, because the ufs label wouldn't even show up in single-
user mode with / mounted ro. the problem occured after i booted ubuntu from a
dvd and was then getting a corrupted gpt entry. i used 'gpart recover' which
then showed up some extra space available. after doing 'gpart resize', mounting
/dev/ufs/rootf did no longer work and i had to switch to mounting /dev/ada0p3.

it seems the issue has been fixed since then. mounting /dev/ufs/rootfs now
works again and GEOM doesn't destroy the comsumers.

thanks for pointing out the obvious. ;)

cheers.
