Can you show the output of 'gpart show ad8' and 'bsdlabel ad8s1'?
It might be that newfs is clobbering the partition table.

Googling I find a lot of references, but none give me the answer to my
problem. All 500Gb drives can be formatted under Windows, linux
(Ubuntu), Partion Magic, Solaris without errors. Alas, non of these
systems supports formatting in UFS2. I need FreeBSD to do that
