File systems are not the whole world. For example. I've a disk ad0.
I configured gbde(4) on top of it. I create file system on top of
ad0.bde. Now, let's assume I implemented shrinkfs(8) as you suggested,
how can I shrink gbde(4) provider?

If you want a label you should label it before gbde(4). This is similar to
the fact that you can't retroactively add a gmirror under the gbde slice
either.

That's right. And this is how I do it. Unfortunately this is not always
the case. First of all, sysinstall doesn't have support for configuring
things like gbde/gmirror (which of course can be changed) or you may
simply not expect that you will need labels on your disks when you
install the system...
