Ok, the need for sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16 arises because the live system to be used as master has mounted partitions, and those partitions span the whole disk, thus conflict with gmirror which wants to use the last sector. Since using the last sector for metadata is The Official Way, how about making such conflicts easy to avoid, like for example building additional logic in g_part to create partitions one sector smaller than the container?
