Disk names in pool status not reflecting the proper name

[aeonsfury]

Hello,

Running into an issue on Truenas Scale 22.02.0.1 where disk names in the gui pool status are not matching the actual drive names after reboot and consequently do not allow the three dot menu to function (actual function of the zpool is unaffected as expected). The pool in question is a Raidz2 setup with 5 16TB drives currently with the drive names sdm-q. However in the gui the pool is currently showing disks sdf, sdm, sdo, sdp, sdq and out of these the sdf and sdp three dot menu do not function (it pops up but when you select any option nothing happens and it disappears). Looking to see if there is anyway to correct this or if the gui is supposed to notice when the drive name changes and update accordingly. From what I can see in my setup there isn't a way to make it so the drive names stay constant as a reboot doesn't help with this. Any assistance would be appreciated!

Zpool status:

Disks in question (from gui): Note one of them doesnt show its in the pool now but only in the gui

There are some improvements in linux disk handling in SCALE 22.02.2 ... this issue seems related to another customer issue I've seen and may be addressed. Should be available for testing within a couple of weeks.

Maybe you want zpool status -L ?

 

[aeonsfury]

Thank you morganL! I'll keep an eye out and see if the issue persists after it's released.

sretalla,

I have no issues with the CLI for zpool status it's only in the gui with no way to change what name the GUI thinks the disks in the pool have. Thank you for the command though as I was wondering how to get the name in CLI as well!

I am having the same issue in CORE on version 13...

What issue? That the GUI shows disk identifiers (e.g., ada3 or da5) rather than the gptids? That's by design, both in CORE and in SCALE.

I'd agree that this is *sort* of an issue: the display isn't particularly clear about which disks are in that pool. Disk-id or serial number would be more helpful, as they don't change. I would question the philosophy behind this design, and whether the benefits of this choice outweigh the costs.

All of them are potentially useful.... but all of them create clutter in the UI.
It's useful to review situations which are difficult to manage and the work out whether an improvement is worthwhile.

I dunno. Quick photoshop...

Doesn't seem that bad...
