$ man gpart(8)

Here's another of my systems with their labels:

$ gpart list | grep label

    label: systemb0
    label: systems0
    label: systemd0
    label: systemb1
    label: systems1
    label: systemd1
    label: raidd4
    label: raidd3.1
    label: raidd1.1
    label: raidd5.1
    label: raidd2.1
    label: raidd0.1

I have a gpt zfs root mirror, and that pair is 'system', 'b'
is gptboot, 's' is swap, 'd' is data, '0' and '1' are the
drives.

Also I have a raidz2, d0-d5 are the disks, .n is the number
of times that drive slot been replaced (zero based).

I'd probably be even clearer in the labels in the future,
but you get the idea.

Cheers,
