Given information such as this:

http://www.solarismen.de/archives/5-Solaris-and-the-new-4K-Sector-Disks-e.g=
.-WDxxEARS-Part-2.html
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.solaris.opensolaris.zfs/43986

and my last message on the subject in the thread:

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.geom/4376
