You should only proceed into multiuser mode if/when the root filesystem
is clean.  In other words, if there are any errors in the fsck on /, do
a reboot.  If you're doing this, I apologize for belaboring the point
;-)

Unfortunately, no.  Even if disklabel -e worked, that would not be
possible, since the filesystem has to be recreated to take advantage
of a larger partition, or to work in a smaller one.

Again, I have seen no filesystem related panics, and very few of any
other kind (like, one unexpected one).  Some others have noted that
exiting tcsh or csh causes a panic sometimes.
