In 9.10.2-U1, across several servers, I've noted zpool status sometimes shows drive ID & sometimes shows GPTID, as in the example below. Any idea why it differs/changes?

zpool status freenas-boot
pool: freenas-boot
state: ONLINE
scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0h4m with 0 errors on Thu Feb 23 06:10:14 2017
config:

NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
freenas-boot ONLINE 0 0 0
mirror-0 ONLINE 0 0 0
da0p2 ONLINE 0 0 0
gptid/bdc9b984-65e4-11e5-8cfd-3085a9400d26 ONLINE 0 0 0
da2p2 ONLINE 0 0 0

I have not found an answer. I've researched with respect to FreeNAS, FreeBSD, & zfs in general & have found nothing to indicate why zfs shows one or the other much less changes it over time, which I've seen on my systems. As best I can understand, with glabel I can cross reference & I'm keeping a file with the ZFS status & glabel output as well as the requisite section of dmesg. When a boot USB flash drive fails, I think this will allow me to identify the failed actual drive.

Thanks,
John
