--- Comment #2 from Allan Jude <allanjude@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to James Blachly from comment #1)
When you are configuring the bhyve, when you create the virtio-blk device, =
it
can take an optional parameter: sectorsize=3Dlogical[/physical]

So you can force the block size exposed to be smaller than that reported by=
 ZFS

Possibly, you might want to set the zfs record size to be smaller, since you
likely don't want that degree of write amplification in your file-backed VM
images anyway.
