Btw, does the installer of OpenIndiana support forcing 4k or 8k sector size at creation of the pool? This is so easy with FreeBSD and Linux, but as I recall too hard to do on the system where ZFS originated. I recall that I need to hack /kernel/drv/sd.conf and create the pool manually. I don't know the current situation with OpenIndiana and other illumoses. I no longer care about that now. I will use Tribblix the next time I play with illumos and just accept the default setting (which I recall is ashift=9). The virtual disk image is not a real hard disk, so I don't think it will care.
