GUI can't keep track of ZFS pool members when adding disk...

FreeNAS 8.0 RELEASE

I created a 4x2TB ZFS raidz pool using the GUI.
I then added a 2TB disk and a 60GB SSD through a
2 port PCI-e SATA card.
After reboot the two newly added disks were detected first
which apparently reorder the disk names.
I entered the GUI for volume creation and was suggested
TWO 2TB disks that were "available". ?:-/

According to the information I have, ZFS is pretty much
immune to disk reordering thanks to meta-data written on the disks...

So the question remains:
HOW does the GUI determine WHAT disks are available
for creating new volumes???
Or is this a known problem and some script has to be run to
bring the GUI in sync with the ZFS pool?

Hoping for answers :)

This is a known problem of 8.0-RELEASE...

I suggest you to remove the recently new added disks and try to upgrade to 8.0.1-beta2, and _AFTER_ that add the disks back...

A guess you mean #324... (Sorry) I didn't see it when I first scanned through the known problems.
Great though that it has been addressed. :)

No data-loss on my part. I was till setting up the system when it happened. ;)

Thanks!
