Add support for devid and phys_path keys in vdev disk labels
This is foundational work for ZED. Updates a leaf vdev's persistent device strings on Linux platform * only applies for a dedicated leaf vdev (aka whole disk) * updated during pool create|add|attach|import * used for matching device matching during auto-{online,expand,replace} * stored in a leaf disk config label (i.e. alongside 'path' NVP) * can opt-out using env var ZFS_VDEV_DEVID_OPT_OUT=YES Some examples: path: '/dev/sdb1' devid: 'scsi-350000394a8ca4fbc-part1' phys_path: 'pci-0000:04:00.0-sas-0x50000394a8ca4fbf-lun-0' path: '/dev/mapper/mpatha' devid: 'dm-uuid-mpath-35000c5006304de3f' Signed-off-by: Don Brady <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Closes #2856 Closes #3978 Closes #4416

+.B "ZFS_VDEV_DEVID_OPT_OUT"
+Older ZFS on Linux implementations had issues when attempting to display pool
+config VDEV names if a "devid" NVP value is present in the pool's config.
+
+For example, a pool that originated on illumos platform would have a devid
+value in the config and \fBzpool status\fR would fail when listing the config.
+This would also be true for future Linux based pools.
+
+A pool can be stripped of any "devid" values on import or prevented from adding
+them on \fBzpool create\fR or \fBzpool add\fR by setting ZFS_VDEV_DEVID_OPT_OUT.
