Bad idea. Re-placed disk in different bay don't relabel automaticly. Other issuse where disk placed in bay some remotely hands in data center -- I am relay don't know how disk distributed by bays. Best way for identify disk -- uses enclouse services. I have many sites with ZFS on whole disk and some sites with ZFS on GPT partition. ZFS on GPT more heavy for administration.home | help
