Actually I think the UI issues are more difficult and important than the actual asize change. To wit, no other nvlist options are set via vdev specification. I'd much rather see any such setting as normal options. In other words, the above code specifies something like: zpool create zwimming blocksize=4096 c0t0d0 rather than the more consistent: zpool create -b 4k zwimming c0t0d0 -- richard There are also changes there for the format command to make it do megabyte aligned partitions. With both changes in place, one can ensure 4k-aligned access on an illumos partition.

It is indeed that patch. Illumos wasn't prepared to integrate it, but potentially OI could, as a workaround until Illumos provide whatever solution they had in mind. I'll try and get hold of the code.
