[PVE-User] Proposal: Create ZFS pools with serial numbers instead of devices (sdX)

[Mark Schouten]

Hi Hermann,

Yes, that’s sometimes a good idea. If you have issues with this, you can 
also export your zpool and reimport using

zpool import -d /dev/disk/by-id $poolname

This will search in /dev/disk/by-id/ for the correct disks.
