Every GPT partition have unique /dev/gptid/, you can find it out with: glabel status and instead of using e.x.: zpool create tank mirror ad4p3 ad6p3 you can use: zpool create tank mirror gptid/0f32d2e6-c227-11de-8d6c-001708386b68 gptid/bc78a46e-c227-11de-8d6c-001708386b68 and you can swap disk without worries -- Artis Caune Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
