It seems that device names aren't always updated when importing
pools if devices have moved. I am not sure if this is only an
cosmetic issue or if it could actually be a real problem -
could it lead to the device not being found at a later import?
/ragge
(This is on snv_127.)
I ran the following script:
------------
#!/bin/bash
set -e
set -x
zfs create -V 1G rpool/vol1
zfs create -V 1G rpool/vol2
zpool create pool mirror /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/vol1 /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/vol2
zpool status pool
zpool export pool
zfs create rpool/subvol1
zfs create rpool/subvol2
zfs rename rpool/vol1 rpool/subvol1/vol1
zfs rename rpool/vol2 rpool/subvol2/vol2
zpool import -d /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/subvol1
sleep 1
zpool import -d /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/subvol2
sleep 1
zpool import -d /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/subvol1 pool
zpool status pool
------------
And got the output below. I have annotated it with ### remarks.
------------

### vol2's path gets updated too:
