Cannot label disk when partitions are in use as described.
I do not think a -force flag is appropriate.
instead, we should improve the granularity of the in-use detection --
fix format so it lets you change the sizes of partitions which are not
in use so long as you aren't making them overlap in-use partitions.
It does allow you to change the sizes of partitions which are not in
use, as long as they don't overlap in use partitions. It even lets you
grow in use partitions.
The heuristic of the vfstab being 'in use' could be improved upon
however, which I believe is Daniel's main concern. The idea is that
entries in /etc/vfstab are possibly in use, and designed to help users
not step on filesystems that may not be mounted at that time, but could
potentially be something they want to keep.
