            Bug ID: 256165
           Summary: camcontrol cannot address drives by
                    id/label/name/serialnumber
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd@michael-bueker.de

FreeBSD has several of ways of addressing disks independently of their assi=
gned
device names like adaX: diskid/ and glabel for example. This helps scripts =
and
user commands avoid addressing the wrong disk when controllers, cables and
drives are shuffled around.

camcontrol has no way to use any of these, however. It only accepts names l=
ike
adaX, or bus:target identifiers, which can all change across reboots for any
given disk.

camcontrol should allow _some_ way to address disks independently of their
adaX-style device names, like diskid/* identifiers, glabel, `diskinfo -s`
serial numbers or something similar.
