I disagree, get the remote hands to copy the serial number to an easily visible location on the drive when its in the enclosure. Then label the drives with the serial number (or a compatible version of it). That way the label is tied to the drive, and you dont have to rely on the remote hands 100%.

It was a control thing again, if you were using a partition another application could be using the drive on another partition, therefore zfs couldn't guarantee exclusive use of the disk so had to be more careful in the way it operated the drive. I think this meant I went into write through mode lik
