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. - aurf =20
