The number of blocks is 5860553790 which is bigger than what can be
stored in the disklabel's
struct disklabel {
...
struct partition { /* the partition table */
uint32_t p_size; /* number of sectors in partition */
...
unsigned 32 bit int (4294967295) for size in blocks => need to use gpt(8)
(or from Greg's hint - just use the raw cgd)
