This also happens when using growfs(8) or anything which can make the 
size of the file system not equal the size of the media (geom) on which 
it is located.

This is a side-effect of checking for file system corruption, I'm not 
sure that removing the check would be a good thing to do.

0 &&
  86                     pp->mediasize / fs->fs_fsize == fs->fs_old_size) {
  87                         /* Valid UFS1. */
  88                 } else if (fs->fs_magic == FS_UFS2_MAGIC && 
fs->fs_fsize > 0 &&
  89                     pp->mediasize / fs->fs_fsize == fs->fs_size) {
  90                         /* Valid UFS2. */
  91                 } else {
  92                         g_free(fs);
  93                         continue;
  94                 }
