This pretty much makes glabel mandatory for referring to devices. LSI says that's the just way it is, and= to use either operating system labels or create RAID volumes on the controller. gstat reports devices based on their hardware device names, so there is a n= ice pre-sorted (in some kernel ordering) list of devices. For example, da0 thro= ugh da16 are displayed in order. So far, so good. If I glabel the devices as slotN and then do "gstat -f slot", I get a list which is still sorted by the hardware device name as shown in the attachmen= t, even though the more useful order would be the slotN names I assigned. I propose a -s flag which would sort the display by the name. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
