Subject:   4K vs 512byte sector drives on Seagate Constellation E.2

Hi,

I've a Seagate constellation ES.2 which supports 4K sectors but diskinfo =
shows it as 512bytes;

da0	512	3000592982016	5860533168	0	0	364801	=
255	63

I understand that Seagate ships these drives to be compatible with =
512byte sectors so that older Windows OSs work on the.

But I'm unsure how to get this drive to report as having 4K sectors.

I'm really asking from a ZFS perspective as my vdevs show with an ashift =
of 9 via the zdb command.

I'd rather forgo the gnop hack as I prefer a cleaner approach.

Any info or insight would be greatly appreciated.
