VMware tools were not installed at the time. I'll try that, but I doubt
it will make a difference for resizing.

The ESXi 5.5 default controller for FreeBSD, LSI Logic Parallel ...
mpt0@pci0:0:16:0: class=0x010000 card=0x197615ad chip=0x00301000
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'LSI Logic / Symbios Logic'
device = '53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI'
class = mass storage
subclass = SCSI
I'll try it with the LSI Logic SAS controller as well to see if that
makes a difference.
