Adjusting partition size with disklabel

Hi,

long story short, I have a partition on a RAID5 array which
after an accident
where I had to rebuild the array became smaller than it
originally was. Here's
the original size:

amrd1: 1430505MB (2929674240 sectors) RAID 5 (degraded)

and the new size after the rebuild:

amrd1: 1430400MB (2929459200 sectors) RAID 5 (optimal)

Is it possible to use 'bsdlabel -e' to shrink the
partition down to a size
which will fit the new size of the array?

with regards,

Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?  Who knows?  Who
cares?

To my knowledge, you can only growfs(8) them, not shrink
them.
