Oh, sorrry for the confusion! I assumed that the da driver would announce a 4 KB sector instead of the 512 bytes due to the quirks. Which brings an interesting question, I might have a potential time bomb in my experimental machine at home. It's a ZFS mirror with two 500 MB disks. One of the has 512 byte sectors, the other is "advanced format". Borja.
