Subject: ZFS bug: Creating ZIL ignores vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift
Hi,
I have noticed that ZIL creation _ignores_ the vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift vari=
able. ZIL and cache on SSDs should use this variable in order to apply the =
optimum sector size on SSDs or so-called advanced format drives.
The system is:

The disks I am playing with are:
# camcontrol devlist
<ST3500418AS CC38> at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (ada0,pass0)
<INTEL SSDSA2CT040G3 4PC10362> at scbus1 target 0 lun 0 (ada1,pass1)
<ST500DM002-1BC142 JC4B> at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (ada2,pass2)
<INTEL SSDSA2CT040G3 4PC10362> at scbus3 target 0 lun 0 (ada3,pass3)
And yes, I know the two hard disks have different sector sizes but I create=
d the pool with an ashift of 12.
Borja.
