Maybe that's a dumb idea, but I am curious.
As far as I understand, the following points apply:
- EARS and RAIDZ is slow, but
- if you make ZFS aware of the 4k sector size (gnop), performance is okay

If so, what happens if you configure geli for the whole drive with 4k
sectors? Maybe you get AES-128 for free :-)
