Hi,
I've just upgraded my first production server to 8.2-RELEASE, all
fine except for one thing. ZFS is now listing my disk devices by their
gptid names, ie
# zpool status
pool: nfsen
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE
READ WRITE CKSUM
nfsen ONLINE
0 0 0
mirror ONLINE
0 0 0
gptid/55c03af2-5c54-11df-af69-001143d8b2eb ONLINE
0 0 0
gptid/58ef6152-5c54-11df-af69-001143d8b2eb ONLINE
0 0 0
errors: No known data errors
Previously they were showing as ada0p1 etc. I was quite happy with the
previous method as I'd fixed the device names via /boot/device.hints
and this made it (to me) perfectly human readable without having to
use labels. Is this something that in 8.2 is now hard coded into ZFS?
Ie I am forced to use gptid or disk labelling?
thanks Andy.
