Use the -l flag to gpart when creating the partitions. I'm not sure if ther=
e
is a way to label them after the fact. I found it led to a much more
descriptive/reliable pool, as I can plug the disks in anywhere and get the
same results:
pool: tank
state: ONLINE
scrub: none requested
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
tank ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/samsung15-1 ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/samsung15-2 ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/samsung15-3 ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/samsung15-4 ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/seagate15-1 ONLINE 0 0 0
gpt/seagate15-2 ONLINE 0 0 0
I use the geom name 'gpt/foo' when referring to the disks in zpool. All
works perfectly.
Cheers
Tom
