We use basic supermicro cases for our storage servers in combination 
with a LSI 9211-8i controller in IT mode.

Since 9.1 or shortly there after we get for every disk we attach to the 
SAS backplane the following error.

make_dev_physpath_alias: WARNING - Unable to alias 
gptid/abb586f5-da8d-11e2-aaaf-00259061b51a to 
enc at n500304800122877d/type at 0/slot at f/elmdesc at Slot_15/gptid/abb586f5-da8d-11e2-aaaf-00259061b51a 
- path too long.

I know it does not harm the operation, but every time the server boots 
or when we add a disk i get a little scared when i see WRNINGS passing by.

Is there a way to supress these WARNINGS, or is there something i can do 
about it.
I know on 9.0 i do not get these messages.!
