I'm not sure if there is a way to label them after the fact. I found it led to a much more descriptive/reliable pool, as I can plug the disks in anywhere and get the same results: pool: tank state: ONLINE scrub: none requested config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM tank ONLINE 0 0 0 raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/samsung15-1 ONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/samsung15-2 ONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/samsung15-3 ONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/samsung15-4 ONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/seagate15-1 ONLINE 0 0 0 gpt/seagate15-2 ONLINE 0 0 0 I use the geom name 'gpt/foo' when referring to the disks in zpool. All works perfectly.
