Hi Ashutosh,

> FreeNAS uses disk serial number as identifier. We found that

  Known problem. 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.
