> glabel -- disk labelization control utility

Labelization is not a real word. 

The utility labels GEOM providers (not to be confused with disks). 

Maybe better: 

> glabel -- GEOM provider label utility

– or: 

> glabel -- GEOM provider labelling utility


From DESCRIPTION: 

> … labels cannot be set with glabel, but must be set with the appropriate 
> file system utility, … Currently supported file systems …

This is confusing. 

Does the list show what's supported by the _non_-glabel utilities (for labels
that glabel can _not_ set)? 

Or, does the list show what _is_ supported by glabel? If so, then there should
probably be a paragraph break. 


From EXAMPLES: 

> tunefs -L data /dev/da4s1a
> mount /dev/ufs/data /mnt/data

That's not an example of glabel.
