hi all,
please, I really need help ...
recently I noticed that my netbook HDD has 4K phys sectors and I think
it is worth to use that (is it really worth indeed?)
I have FreeBSD 9-STABLE running well on it already but when it was
installed, the alignment was not done properly ...

what I have:
> uname -a
FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #17 r250823: Mon May 20 19:39:19 EEST 2013 amd64
> smartctl -a /dev/ada0

what I am thinking about:
1. to backup whole zroot
#> zfs send -r zroot@2align > file
2. to plug HDD (let it be detected as adaX) on other system and to:
#> gpart destroy adaX
#> gpart create -s gpt adaX
#> gpart add -b 34 -s 94 -t freebsd-boot -l bootX adaX
#> gpart add -s 4G -t freebsd-swap -l swapX adaX
#> gpart add -a 1m -t freebsd-zfs -l diskX adaX
#> gpart bootcode -b /path/to/backuped/pmbr -p /path/to/backuped/gptzfsboot=
-i 1 adaX
#> gnop create -S 4096 gtp/diskX
#> zpool create zroot_z-hp gpt/diskX.nop
#> cat file | zfs receive -v zroot_z-hp
#> zpool export zroot_z-hp
#> zpool import -f -o cachefile=3D/tmp/zpool.cache -o altroot=3D/mnt zroot_=
z-hp
#> zfs set mountpoint=3D/root zroot_z-hp
#> cp /tmp/zpool.cache /mnt/root/boot/zfs/zpool.cache
#> vi /mnt/root/boot/loader.conf
s/zroot/zroot_z-hp/
#> zfs umount /mnt/root
#> zfs set mountpoint=3Dlegacy zroot_z-hp
#> zpool export zroot_z-hp
#> gnop destroy gpt/disk0.nop
#> zpool import -d /dev/gpt/diskX
#> zpool export zroot_z-hp
3. return HDD to the netbook
so, am I right, is it correct way to re-align to 4K an existent ZFS
pool, will it work?
is ZFS version have to be the same on both systems (the one to be
aligned is shown as 5000 (after `zpool upgrade -a') while the one all
that stuff to be performed at is 28)?
