Maybe not, and all noise I made was pointless and caused by my inexperience with gpart. Probably I just expected output from "gpart show ad1" be more like "no valid partitioning scheme on device" or "error in GPT table, please recreate partition scheme" in place of mystic geom message ;) Sorry for noise, thanks for a hint and happy easter everyone :) -- Bartosz Stec
