i have 2 SSDs in server which is GPT partitioned. Among others there are 
lots of partitions for virtual machines. i use glabel to label these
partitions

Each partition is geli encrypted andthen partitioned MBR or GPT way 
depending on many things.

for geli encrypted partition then subdivided with MBR i can directly 
access (of course if bhyve is not running on it) it with for example

/dev/label/partitionname.elis1 - to access first subpartition of geli 
encrypted "partitionname" labeled partition.


but with GPT subpartitioned partition it doesn't work. i need to use 
ggatel to access subpartition.

can it be changed?
