Prevention of this should IMHO be determined by the type of device being 
used and method of implementation. Using daN ? devices and the 
characteristics of those devices could best be handled by glabel before 
the device is attached to a pool. Maybe there is a way that a device could 
still be labeled but thus allow to still use the raw device and check what 
the label is so if that device happens to go missing any device shifts 
won't effect future operations upon replacing a drive.
