Yes, of course. You should not intermix using glabel(8) utilizing /dev/ufs (via tunefs) and bsdlabel partition starting from offset 0. This is because glabel can't distinguish is that slice or partition - with offset 0 superblock will be at the same position. You can try to erase bsdlabel completely (if this is not your boot partition) from the slice and use filesystem directly from the slice. This will not affect mount as you're already using labels. The other way will require shrinking-then-moving partition on the disk and editing disklabel, better done with newfs(8). -- WBR, Vadim Goncharov.
