Hi Ashutosh, > FreeNAS uses disk serial number as identifier. We found that > on Bhyve all AHCI controllers return common disk serial number i.e. ‘123456’. > See attached screenshot.

The fix is to do what the virtio-blk emulation does, which is to use an md5 hash of the backing file/device name, and improve on that with an optional override similar to how MAC addresses are handled. It's on the todo list. later, Peter.home | help
