You might try the dangerous 'shoot yourself in the foot mode' for geom:

man 4 geom:
0x10 (allow foot shooting)
	Allow writing to Rank 1 providers.  This would, for example,
	allow the super-user to overwrite the MBR on the root disk or
	write random sectors elsewhere to a mounted disk.  The
	implications are obvious.


sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=16
