But I think I submitted it under the wrong category and it's marked as low priority as well. But I think this is something that is a potential serious problem if I end up getting a corrupted filesystem so I'm posting here again in the hope somebody can help this time. The PR is amd64/170646.

When I reboot it I get WARNING: / was not properly dismounted and it rebuilds from journal. On shutdown I get the messages pasted below. I'm running amd64 with GPT partitioning, UFS2 with softupdates and softupdates journalling enabled. I have a custom kernel but I don't think I took anything important out of it.

Is there a particular reason you've decided to glabel your partitions instead of using GPT labels? Which device did you do the newfs on, the GPT partition or the glabel device?  My hunch is that the label metadata sector at the end of the GPT partition is interfering with the filesystem.

I'd try labelling my partitions (gpart modify -i 2 -l root ada0; gpart modify -i 3 -l swap), then change fstab to reference the gpt labels (dev(gpt/root) instead of the glabel ones.
