On USB flash drives I created myself, the suggested gpart command solved the

What is wrong?
Kind regards and thank you very much in advance,

On console, I get the report:
[...]
GEOM_PART: da4 was automatically resized.
Use `gpart commit da4` to save changes or `gpart undo da4` to revert them.
I noticed something similar when I was trying to dd a more recent
memstick installer to a USB drive on 12-CURRENT. When I plugged in the
flash drive I couldn't dd to it until I noticed that message in syslog
and ran 'gpart undo da0'. Looks like something is unhelpfully
auto-resizing partitions.
Do you have growfs_enable in your rc.conf file? I think this is added to
certain flash images by default so it will automatically grow to your
device capacity. See ...
/etc/rc.d/growfs
