Mmmhh... We're doing something wrong here I guess :o Are you 100% sure
that ad10 is not used by any open geom modules? What does dmesg say about
ar*?

After reading man geom (see the fine print under SPOILING), maybe you
should take this up on current@, pointing to this thread and posting the
following information (better in single user mode, if you have a console):

0. dmesg
1. your RAID array configuration
2. your currently mounted partitions
3. the output of the fdisk command
