Yes, I saw that from the gpart output you posted.

Yes, I saw that too. Not quite what I was suggesting: I suspected
some overflow issue, so the partitions should really have been a
little shy of 32 GB. And at least for the start you should only mount
one of them. In the unlikely event that it should threaten to fill
up, you can still mount the other one without rebooting (swapon(1)).
How are things looking now?
