https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D204892 Bug ID: 204892 Summary: zpool refuses to work with device symlinks Product: Base System Version: 10.2-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mi@FreeBSD.org My 3 SATA drives are listed under /dev as both sequentially-numbered ada as well as ad with numbers reflecting their positions: lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 27 =D0=BB=D0=B8=D1=81 14:45 /dev/ad4 -> ada0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 27 =D0=BB=D0=B8=D1=81 14:45 /dev/ad6 -> ada1 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4 27 =D0=BB=D0=B8=D1=81 14:45 /dev/ad8 -> ada2 I wanted zpool to use the aliases (ad4, ad6, and ad8) so that, should I plu= g in another device into slot 5 or 7, the pool continues to function. Unfortunately, zpool didn't like that and kept rejecting my commands until I fed it ada0, ada1, and ada2. Could it, please, be made wiser? Thanks! --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
