This time having mmcsd0s3 partition and mmcsd0s3a in freebsd-ufs type. You can see below sequences of procedures. I deleted the existing mmcsd0s3 partition first and then create a new one in the same 8GB size.

Oh I see, with tunefs it's also possible to enable/disable TRIM flag. I just tried out the rootfs partition (/dev/da0s2a) enabled and it did. 

root@sd-ultra:~ # /sbin/tunefs -t enable /dev/da0s2a
tunefs: issue TRIM to the disk set

Thanks for this great tool!

BR,
