I have an Oracle (nee Sun) X4-2 server with identical 300GB SAS drives. I did an MBR ZFS install from FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE CD and have it updated to p6: $ uname -a FreeBSD foo 10.1-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p6 #0: Tue Feb 24 19:00:21 UTC 2015 root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 $ freebsd-version 10.1-RELEASE-p6 The current ZFS setup is: $ zdb | grep ashift ashift: 12 ashift: 12 $ zpool status pool: bootpool state: ONLINE scan: resilvered 486M in 0h0m with 0 errors on Thu Mar 26 09:16:45 2015 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM bootpool ONLINE 0 0 0 diskid/DISK-001442CBEEKF%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20KFHBEEKFs1a ONLINE 0 0 0 pool: zroot state: ONLINE scan: resilvered 200K in 0h0m with 0 errors on Wed Mar 25 10:51:36 2015 config: NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM zroot ONLINE 0 0 0 diskid/DISK-001442CBEEKF%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20KFHBEEKFs1d ONLINE 0 0 0 $ gpart show diskid/DISK-001442CBEEKF%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20KFHBEEKF => 63 585937437 diskid/DISK-001442CBEEKF%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20KFHBEEKF MBR (279G) 63 585937422 1 freebsd [active] (279G) 585937485 15 - free - (7.5K) $ gpart show diskid/DISK-001442CBEEKF%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20KFHBEEKFs1 => 0 585937422 diskid/DISK-001442CBEEKF%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20KFHBEEKFs1 BSD (279G) 0 4194304 1 freebsd-zfs (2.0G) 4194304 8388608 2 freebsd-swap (4.0G) 12582912 573354510 4 freebsd-zfs (273G) [Why are the disk ids blank %20 filled?] Now I want to create another (sorta) matching setup, but this time want to use labels and 4G (instead of 2G) for bootpool. # gpart create -s MBR da1 # gpart add -t freebsd da1 # gpart create -s BSD da1s1 # gpart add -s 4G -t freebsd-zfs da1s1 # gpart add -s 4G -t freebsd-swap da1s1 # gpart add -t freebsd-zfs da1s1 # gpart show da1 => 63 585937437 da1 MBR (279G) 63 585937422 1 freebsd (279G) 585937485 15 - free - (7.5K) # gpart show da1s1 => 0 585937422 da1s1 BSD (279G) 0 8388608 1 freebsd-zfs (4.0G) 8388608 8388608 2 freebsd-swap (4.0G) 16777216 569160206 4 freebsd-zfs (271G) Except for da1s1a being 4G instead of 2G, everything matches the ZFS setup above.
