            Bug ID: 219001
           Summary: Installer Auto (ZFS) Partitioning creates pools with
                    out-of-order disks
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ppauly@gmail.com

When doing a Auto ZFS Partitioning in the installer, disks are added to the
pool in alphabetical order instead of numerical order. This is an issue when
using more than 10 disks. For example, this is the order of disks chosen by=
 the
installer with 16 disks:

da0
da1
da10
da11
da12
da13
da14
da15
da16
da2
da3
da4
da5
da6
da7
da8
da9

The zpool is also created in this order which may cause problems or confusi=
on
for the system administrator.=20

The Auto (UFS) code does not suffer from this problem.=20

Tested on VMware, AMD64 with 16 100GB drives.
