strange behavior after gpart {recover, resize}

[Alexander Best]

hi there,

i noticed ada0's status was CORRUPTED. that's why i ran gpart recover ada0.
that worked. however now gpart was showing some freespace after the last
partition, which never showed up beforehand. that's why i did sysctl
kern.geom.debugflags=16 and ran gpart resize -i3 ada0 which also worked as
expected.

however now i can access ada0p3 only by it's /dev node. it won't show up in
either /dev/ufs, /dev/label or /dev/gptid. i checked with tunefs -p and the
ufs descriptor is defenately there. nothing in gpart status however. :(

                                     Name  Status  Components
                                label/boot     N/A  ada0p1
gptid/e52df583-e446-11de-bb92-000fb58207c8     N/A  ada0p1
                                label/swap     N/A  ada0p2
                              label/swapfs     N/A  ada1p1
                                 ufs/varfs     N/A  ada1p2
                                 ufs/usrfs     N/A  ada1p3

any clues?

this is the current layout:

=>       34  488397101  ada0  GPT  (233G)
         34        128     1  freebsd-boot  (64K)
        162   16777216     2  freebsd-swap  (8.0G)
   16777378  471619757     3  freebsd-ufs  (225G)

=>        34  1953525101  ada1  GPT  (932G)
          34    20971520     1  freebsd-swap  (10G)
    20971554     4194304     2  freebsd-ufs  (2.0G)
    25165858  1928359277     3  freebsd-ufs  (920G)

...and this is tunefs -p's idea of ada0p3:

tunefs: POSIX.1e ACLs: (-a)                                disabled
tunefs: NFSv4 ACLs: (-N)                                   disabled
tunefs: MAC multilabel: (-l)                               disabled
tunefs: soft updates: (-n)                                 disabled
tunefs: soft update journaling: (-j)                       disabled
tunefs: gjournal: (-J)                                     disabled
tunefs: trim: (-t)                                         disabled
tunefs: maximum blocks per file in a cylinder group: (-e)  2048
tunefs: average file size: (-f)                            16384
tunefs: average number of files in a directory: (-s)       64
tunefs: minimum percentage of free space: (-m)             8%
tunefs: optimization preference: (-o)                      time
tunefs: volume label: (-L)                                 rootfs

cheers.
