  Okay.  I thought I would try this last bit.  However, only the first two disks (still ada0 and ada1) list partitions in /dev/gpt, because I just used the entirety of the other two disks I guess.  And, only the other two disks have shown up in /dev/diskid.  (nb, later research shows the other disks when I run “gpart list”, but they have “(null)" labels, as do their one partitions)

  So, "import -d /dev/gpt” doesn’t find anything (because none of tank’s disks are there), and “import -d /dev/diskid” finds the same as it configured automatically, with ada1p4 and the two diskid’s.  Only /dev/gptid does what you describe above, where it lists all three by gptid, but I would prefer not to do that atm.

  I was hoping to get “ada1p4” “d0p1” and “d1p1”.  If I ls /dev, I see:

# ls -l /dev/ada* /dev/da*
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x5f Aug 11 01:20 /dev/ada0
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x60 Aug 11 01:20 /dev/ada0p1
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x61 Aug 11 01:20 /dev/ada0p2
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x62 Aug 11 01:20 /dev/ada0p3
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x64 Aug 11 01:20 /dev/ada1
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x6b Aug 11 01:20 /dev/ada1p1
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x6c Aug 11 01:20 /dev/ada1p2
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x6d Aug 11 01:20 /dev/ada1p3
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x6e Aug 11 01:20 /dev/ada1p4
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x65 Aug 11 01:20 /dev/da0
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x70 Aug 11 23:20 /dev/da0p1
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x66 Aug 11 01:20 /dev/da1
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  0x76 Aug 11 23:20 /dev/da1p1


  So I’d think it would work, but, both “zpool import” and “zpool import -d /dev” both show tank as:

	tank                            ONLINE
	  raidz1-0                      ONLINE
	    ada1p4                      ONLINE
	    diskid/DISK-WOL240261932p1  ONLINE
	    diskid/DISK-WOL240261922p1  ONLINE


  Let me know if there’s something else I can try.  Otherwise, I may just try putting gpt labels on the other partitions.  But, I have more controller swapping soon, so it’s mostly just informational at the moment.

  Thanks…
