--- Comment #4 from Mahmoud Al-Qudsi <mqudsi at neosmart.net> ---
I understand what you're saying now. While I have a geom disk object named da0,
I do not have a geom part object with that name, and that's the object that
`gpart` is reporting does not exist. I interpreted the error message in a
global sense.

How can this error be made friendlier? Here `gpart` is universally declaring
there is no geom by that name, but technically it's that there is no geom _of
this class_ by that name, as `geom disk list | grep 'Geom name'` does return
`Geom name: da0`.

(In this particular instance it's too bad geom names are not unique across
classes, that would have cleared up a lot of confusion.)
