So, my experience is that I added two drives (that showed up as ada0 and ada1) ... something odd with the raid card added a da0 ... which is unreadable ... seems to be a bogon. ... and ZFS, in it's infinite wisdom changes my nice, neat da0s2a zfs to diskid/<blahblahblah>s2a. ... this is doubly bad, because then the /dev/da0s1a cannot mount as swap. I realize that this is can be somewhat fixed for non-root zfs with import/export, but for root ZFS ... you're stuck. Can we have ZFS prefer the shortest (rather than longest)? Can we have it prefer labels, if they exist (have a priority field in the different types of geom ... an order in which they are tasted)? The current situation has been annoying multiple distinct times.
