CP Query MDISK LOC fails after changes with users linking to it.

QUERY MDISK LOC *should* get the location information from the DRCT in storage or in disk, not from the first VDEV encountered.
If someone moves a mdisk (i.e. 190) from its location, since there are other userids linking to the previous location, Q MDISK results with that location and not with the current one written in DRCT and loaded in storage.
PMR 27580,499,000 has details and I was pushed to have it closed said by the developer it is working as designed.
I completely disagree with this statement, if it was designed this way it was wrongly designed amd MUST be revisited.
