 In article <201111070510.pA75A7x2010669@freefall.freebsd.org> you write:
 
 > Regardless of whether ZFS is using gptid to access a disk, I don't see why

 > if the user wants to reference it.
 
 The label device node is just another client to the underlying disk
 partition provider.  As soon as you open the disk for write via one
 path, all of the other paths that reference the same area of the disk
 are automatically destroyed (since you wouldn't be allowed to open
 them anyway).
