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-free...@glaver.org Created attachment 165744 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=165744&action=edit Sample unsorted gstat output Modern(ish) LSI controllers (and perhaps others) probe and report devices in 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 nice pre-sorted (in some kernel ordering) list of devices. For example, da0 through 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 attachment, 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
