GLabel Entry on Disk Management

Post by BodgeIT »

This would be really useful.
Since finding out that FreeBSD reorders ata disks, I have labeled all my zfs raid disks using GLabel.
Unfortunately this doesn't show up anywhere in the Nas4Free interface except in the ZFS page where there is no info on which disks relate to which glabel label.

When I try to add this info to each disk in its description, it gets overwritten if I have to reimport disks.

Having an extra column would be really useful, there seems to be enough room...
NAS4Free: 11.4.0.4 - (7682) amd64-embedded
Mobo: Supermicro X9SCL-F, CPU: Xeon E3-1230v2; RAM: Crucial 32GB ECC
System: IBM M1015it SAS controller(SAS2008 v20); Intel Dual 1Gb Server Nic; Thermaltake 1KW PSU;

Storage: Raidz1(3x Toshiba N300 6TB), Raidz1(3x WD Red 3TB), UFS(1x 1TB) Utility disk, ZFS Cache(64Gb SSD)

+1 , good addon

and can be used to delete ZFS metadata, and reuse disk in a new different pool in a easy way.
12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7743) on SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F 8GB of ECC RAM, 11x3TB disk in 1 vdev = Vpool = 32TB Raw size , so 29TB usable size (I Have other NAS as Backup)
