Ned Bass 2957f38d78 vdev_id support for device link aliases
Add a vdev_id feature to map device names based on already defined
udev device links.  To increase the odds that vdev_id will run after
the rules it depends on, increase the vdev.rules rule number from 60
to 69.  With this change, vdev_id now provides functionality analogous
to zpool_id and zpool_layout, paving the way to retire those tools.

A defined alias takes precedence over a topology-derived name, but the
two naming methods can otherwise coexist. For example, one might name
drives in a JBOD with the sas_direct topology while naming an internal
L2ARC device with an alias.

For example, the following lines in vdev_id.conf will result in the
creation of links /dev/disk/by-vdev/{d1,d2}, each pointing to the same
target as the device link specified in the third field.

  #     by-vdev
  #     name     fully qualified or base name of device link
  alias d1       /dev/disk/by-id/wwn-0x5000c5002de3b9ca
  alias d2       wwn-0x5000c5002def789e

Also perform some minor vdev_id cleanup, such as removal of the unused
-s command line option.

README.markdown

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:

$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
