'false', which prevents geli(8) from finding some arguments and also masks
an error, which is generates in such case.

This was needed for recover implementation.
Implement the recover command for GPT. Now GPT will marked as
corrupt when any of three types of corruption will be detected:
1. Damaged primary GPT header or table
2. Damaged secondary GPT header or table
3. Secondary header is not located in the last LBA
Marked GPT becomes read-only. Any changes with corrupt table
are prohibited. Only "destroy" and "recover" commands are allowed.

Before this change if you wanted to suspend your laptop and be sure that your
encryption keys are safe, you had to stop all processes that use file system
stored on encrypted device, unmount the file system and detach geli provider.
This isn't very handy. If you are a lucky user of a laptop where suspend/resume
actually works with FreeBSD (I'm not!) you most likely want to suspend your
laptop, because you don't want to start everything over again when you turn
your laptop back on.
And this is where geli suspend/resume steps in. When you execute:
# geli suspend -a
geli will wait for all in-flight I/O requests, suspend new I/O requests, remove
all geli sensitive data from the kernel memory (like encryption keys) and will
wait for either 'geli resume' or 'geli detach'.
Now with no keys in memory you can suspend your laptop without stopping any
processes or unmounting any file systems.
When you resume your laptop you have to resume geli devices using 'geli resume'
command. You need to provide your passphrase, etc. again so the keys can be
restored and suspended I/O requests released.
Of course you need to remember that 'geli suspend' won't clear file system
cache and other places where data from your geli-encrypted file system might be
present. But to get rid of those stopping processes and unmounting file system
won't help either - you have to turn your laptop off. Be warned.
Also note, that suspending geli device which contains file system with geli
utility (or anything used by 'geli resume') is not very good idea, as you won't
be able to resume it - when you execute geli(8), the kernel will try to read it
and this read I/O request will be suspended.
This is especially useful for things like installers, where regular
geli prompt can't be used.

This option doesn't passed to kernel and handled in user-space.
With -F option gpart creates new "delete" request for each
partition in table. Each request has flags="X" that disables
auto-commit feature. Last request is the original "destroy" request.
It has own flags and can have disabled or enabled auto-commit feature.
If error is occurred when deleting partitions, then new "undo" request
is created and all changes will be rolled back.

to growing the filesystem.
Refuse to attach providers where the metadata provider size is
wrong. This makes post-boot attaches behave consistently with
pre-boot attaches. Also refuse to restore metadata to a provider
of the wrong size without the new -f switch. The new -f switch
forces the metadata restoration despite the provider size, and
updates the provider size in the restored metadata to the correct
value.

Move code that converts params from humanized numbers to sectors count
to subr.c and adjust comment.
Add post-processing for "size" and "start offset" params in gpart,
now they are properly converted to sectors count with known sector size
that can be greater that 512 bytes.
Also replace "unsigned long long" type to "off_t" for unify code since
it used for medium size in libgeom(3) and DIOCGMEDIASIZE ioctl.

in presence of competing random access patterns.

to support various storage boxes which really aren't active-active.
We only write the label on the *first* provider. For all other providers
we just "add" the disk. This also allows for an "add" verb.
A usage implication is that you should specificy the currently active
storage path as the first provider.
Note that this does not add RDAC-like functionality, but better allows for
autovolumefailover configurations (additional checkins elsewhere will support
this).
