The following reply was made to PR kern/162342; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Garrett Wollman <wollman@hergotha.csail.mit.edu> To: jeff@bovine.net Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/162342: FreeBSD hides gpt labels after mounting ZFS partitions Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 00:20:30 -0500 (EST) 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 > the label should disappear. It should continue to be available as an alias > 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). -GAWollman
