Yeah,  no.  You didn't read carefully.  Let me be more clear.  Some random
rejig of device names causes zfs to abandon your carefully constructed
name.  GPT and GPT labels are more stable, but some machines will not allow
a GPT label.  Anyways, after the random event, you have maximally long,
low-signal-to-noise ratio names.
