https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D206360 Bug ID: 206360 Summary: [feature request] gstat: sort by device name Product: Base System Version: 10.2-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: terry-freebsd@glaver.org Created attachment 165744 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D165744&action= =3Dedit Sample unsorted gstat output Modern(ish) LSI controllers (and perhaps others) probe and report devices i= n a random order which may change after a reboot. 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.=
