            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!
