Illumos has a way to override the physical block size of a given disk by using 
the sd.conf file. Here's an example:

sd-config-list =
        "DGC     RAID", "physical-block-size:4096",
        "NETAPP  LUN", "physical-block-size:4096";


By adding the VID PID values into the sd-config-list along with the 'physical-block-size' parameter you can override the value that the disk will use for it's block size. ZFS will pick this up and use the correct ashift value.

This can obviously work once the OS is installed and it is possible to edit system files. Is there a way to apply it to the root pool when the system is installed?
