Hi All,
I am a happy user of a FreeNAS 9.3.1 box with a 6 drives RaidZ2 pool.
I've read that as a best practice one should use GPT label/GPTID to identify disk drives in the ZFS pool.
FreeNAS by default uses GPTID, as shown in the output of my `zpool status`.
Let's say I want to switch to GPT Label (they can be shorter and more descriptive than GPTID):
Thanks for any suggestion

Let's say I want to switch to GPT Label (they can be shorter and more descriptive than GPTID):
- Is there a "GUI way" of switching from GPTID to Labels?
- In the GUI there is a description column under Storage->View Disks, is this field just a property in the DB or is it used as disk label?
- From the command line, can I just label the corresponding partitions with `glabel` or I need to detach/reattach/resilver on drive at a time?
Thanks for any suggestion
