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
r...@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

[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. Make the labels.
# glabel label boot0 da1s1a
# glabel label swap0 da1s1b
# glabel label root0 da1s1d
Create the ZFS bootpool.
# zpool create -o cachefile=/tmp/newpool.cache bootpoolNew label/boot0
# zdb -U /tmp/newpool.cache | grep ashift
ashift: 9
The geometry matches, but ashift is 9 not 12.
If I try to use 4K, the disk geometry doesn't match the original and
ashift is still 9 instead of 12.
# gpart create -s MBR da1
# gpart add -a 4k -t freebsd da1
# gpart create -s BSD da1s1
# gpart add -a 4k -s 4G -t freebsd-zfs da1s1
# gpart add -a 4k -s 4G -t freebsd-swap da1s1
# gpart add -a 4k -t freebsd-zfs da1s1
# gpart show da1
=> 63 585937437 da1 MBR (279G)

# zpool create -o cachefile=/tmp/newpool.cache bootpoolNew label/boot0
# zdb -U /tmp/newpool.cache | grep ashift
ashift: 9
What gives? How do I get it to use 4k?
