A very late summary. My original question showed my disk label using -p
option (disklabel -p /dev/rrz0c) and all my partitions showed up as unused
and, in my eyes, not allocated properly. The problem was the option, -r
(disklabel -r /dev/rrz0c) actually reads the label on the disk. The -p
option just reads the /etc/disktab file.
