AFAIK zfs is immune against device enumeration issues itself. There is a
nice video on YouTube showing Sun engineers setting up a ZFS pool on a
bunch of USB sticks. Afterwards they remove all of them, shuffle them,
and put them back in. No problem.
(It's in german and a translation is still missing. But the talk is
stupid anyway, and the acting of the engineers, too.)
This works on FreeBSD, too. I moved one of my disks to another
controller. ZFS recognised it on reboot.
Really nice. :-)
