These days I use GPT labelled partitions (/dev/gpt/<label>) exclusively when creating zfs pools. However, on my latest box, where I have two pools each with a single component, "zpool status" lists the components as gptid/<uuid> rather than gpt/<label> Is there any way to persuade zfs/zpool to use the GPT label devices rather than the gptid devices? Failing that, how do you map gptid's back to the underlying disk partitions? It's obvious in this case, but I'm building a new file server with eight identical disks in a raidz2 set up and am worried how I'll identify which disk has problems in the future.
