According to Arnaud Houdelette:
As I said, the label is not present in /dev/gpt while used with
adaXp1 ( here ada1p1 has label HD753LJ-1) :
# ls /dev/gpt
HD753LJ-4 zfs-boot
# zpool replace tank ada1p1 gpt/HD753LJ-1
cannot open 'gpt/HD753LJ-1': no such GEOM provider
I know there is the solution of cleaning the disk and resilvering,
but if I could avoid this ?
Do you load glabel in loader.conf?
I think that in order to be able to use GPT labels in GEOM (and thus ZFS), you set them
with gpart, glabel will "load" them in the kernel and you then can use them for
zfs.
I recently moved from ata to ahci and wanted to use labels for the swap
partitions. So I added a label to my swap partitions with gpart, they got
recognized by geom thru glabel and I was able to use /dev/gpt/swapN instead of
the usual /dev/adNp2 that were there before.
