Does anyone know why we re-use GEOM consumers in vdev_geom? I mean, it seems that multiple ZFS vdevs could be using the same consumer attached to a particular provider. When is this needed? Couldn't every vdev have its won consumer? Do we have situations where more than vdev would use the same provider in the read-write mode? Or one vdev would want the read-write mode while another would have it in read-only mode? Thank you. -- Andriy Gapon
