Because removal of withered geoms is done asynchronously, there is a window when some provider may require re-tasting (because of media change or size change), but it would still be in use by the withering geom. That prevents re-tasting a class of that withering geom (for obvious reasons). The following patch tries to trigger owed re-tasting after the withering provider is gone for good: http://people.freebsd.org/~avg/geom-withered-retaste.diff Probably the retasting should be more targeted similarly to what g_retaste does, but in asynchronous mode. This is a missing piece. -- Andriy Gapon
