I had the opportunity to boot that machine from network (a linux), and
parted fix GPT tables correctly. Now, I have in FreeBSD the right last
usable sector :
last: 312581774
first: 34

And dmesg does not say anymore that the secondary GPT table is corrupt
or invalid.

(yeah, one problem fixed)

Unfortunatly, parted does not allow me to resize the last partition
because it does not know the type of the partition.

Yep, seen it. I applied your patch to resize partition, but I didn't
manage to use it correctly.

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /root/patch
# cd sbin/geom/class/part/
# make
# make install

Did I applied the patch correctly ? It seems not working :
# gpart resize -i 3 ad0
gpart: param 'size': Invalid argument


Thanks for your reply.
