If the GPT is rejected, no GEOM is created in the kernel. It's the GEOM
that gpart(8) talks to, so the error indicates that the GPT is not accepted
after you changed the disk size. For all practical purposes ad1 doesn't have
a partitioning.

The only gpart command you can use is:
	gpart create -s gpt ad1

This creates a new GPT on the disk, wiping out whatever was there...
