Title:
  Use persistent device name for vdevs

Status in ubiquity:
  Unknown
Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users and

   * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release.

   * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an
     explanation of how the upload fixes this bug.

  [Test Case]

   * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug

   * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected
     package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes
     the problem.

  [Regression Potential]

   * discussion of how regressions are most likely to manifest as a
  result of this change.

   * It is assumed that any SRU candidate patch is well-tested before
     upload and has a low overall risk of regression, but it's important
     to make the effort to think about what ''could'' happen in the
     event of a regression.

   * This both shows the SRU team that the risks have been considered,
     and provides guidance to testers in regression-testing the SRU.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Anything else you think is useful to include
   * Anticipate questions from users, SRU, +1 maintenance, security teams and the Technical Board
   * and address these questions in advance

  [Original Bug report]

  ZFS pools are currently created with device names such as /dev/sdX, /dev/vdX,... However, this name is not stable and may change on each reboot.
  "zpool create" must use persistent device names like UUID or PARTUUID instead.
