Unfortunately, I don't know enough to be of any help here.

The screenshot shows messages of the form:
   g_access(944): provider ufsid/xxxxx has error 6 set
followed by
   g_access(944): provider gptid/yyyyy has error 6 set
and then
   g_dev_taste: make_dev_p() failed (gp->name=gptid/yyyyy, error=17)
I don't know what this error 6 is and don't know anything about g_access;
but if it is from sys/errno.h that would be ENXIO, Device not configured.

I suspect it has something to do with running under the vm but that is a
wild guess.
I don't monitor the freebsd-geom mailing list but hopefully someone there
can assist.
