Brian Behlendorf dfd3339d12 Support udev shorthand paths
The Solaris code allows shorthand paths by checking for the short
name in /dev/dsk/.  For Linux we extend this shorthand syntax to
be udev aware.  This commit now additionally checks for the short
name in /dev/, /dev/disk/by-id, /dev/disk/by-label, /dev/disk/by-path,
/dev/disk/by-uuid, and /dev/disk/zpool/.  If the short name is found
in any of these places the path is fully expanded and used.  This
may allow for the simpler creation of pools:

  # Using /dev/disk/by-id/ short names
  zpool crete tank raidz ata-Maxtor_7Y250M0_Y638DK2E \
      ata-Maxtor_7Y250M0_Y638PBNE ata-Maxtor_7Y250M0_Y638PBZE

  # Using /dev/disk/zpool/ short names
  zpool create tank raidz2 A1 A2 A3 A4 mirror B1 B2 B3 B4

  # Using full path names
  zpool create tank raidz2 /dev/sd[ah]

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!

Documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/zfs/
