Don't we have a generic non-deterministic issue in the way geom=20=20
providers=20are probed/detected/presented, e.g. if no *id provider is=20=20
disabled,=20a ZFS array may present parts with gptid, some with diskid=20=
=20
and=20so on? This would then be just another instance of this issue=20=20
showing=20up.

Bye,
Alexander.
