Hi. I'd like to request a feature be added to zfs. Currently, on
SAN attached disk, zpool shows up with a big WWN for the disk. If
ZFS (or the zpool command, in particular) had a text field for
arbitrary information, it would be possible to add something that
would indicate what LUN on what array the disk in question might be.
This would make troubleshooting and general understanding of the
actual storage layout much simpler, as you'd know something about any
disks that are encountering problems.
Something like:
zpool status
pool: local
state: ONLINE
scrub: scrub completed with 0 errors on Sun Sep 23 04:16:33 2007
config:
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM NOTE
local ONLINE 0 0 0
raidz1 ONLINE 0 0 0
c2t0d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 Internal SATA on
left side
c2t2d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 Internal SATA on
right side
c2t3d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 External SATA disk 1
in box on top
c2t4d0 ONLINE 0 0 0 External SATA disk 2
in box on top
spares
c2t5d0 AVAIL External SATA disk 3
in box on top
errors: No known data errors
The above would be very useful should a disk fail to identify what
device is what.
Thanks!
