--- Comment #2 from noah.bergbauer at tum.de ---
Thank you for the kind response. When I hit this bug, I was actually just
considering using gvinum and decided against doing so because it was so
unstable. Arguably the real bug here is that it hasn't been deprecated long
ago.

As for the feature set, I still yearn for (an equivalent of) Linux LVM on
FreeBSD and gvinum did like it might somewhat satisfy this use case. I ended up
emulating the most important feature (logical volumes that can be extended as
needed) using a combination of gconcat and a GPT partition table, but what I am
still sorely missing is a way to repartition (or at least extend volumes)
without unmounting. I actually implemented that two years ago in
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D19227 but sadly that stalled.

(I'm also not currently subscribed to the mailing list, so I'm not sure how to
respond to your post there, sorry)
