When partitioning a device a name may be specified for each partion. Internally zfs doesn't use this partition name for anything so it has always just been set to "zfs". However this isn't optimal because udev will create symlinks using this name in /dev/disk/by-partlabel/. If the name isn't unique then all the links cannot be created. Therefore a random 64-bit value has been added to the partition label, i.e "zfs-1234567890abcdef". Additional information could be encoded here since partitions may be reused that could result in confusion and was decided against. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Issue #4517
