It simply seems odd to refer to the 4K page size for the non-sun4u hardware when Solaris 10 does not support sun4m or sun4d etc etc. Simply leave the manpage with an 8K page size ( block size ) and leave it at that. The references to frag size of 1K or disks that are 1GB insize seem a little old fashioned. Of historical value only I think. Then again .. I actually managed to create a ZFS filesystem on a 12 year old HP C3010 disk. So .. anything is possible. Just not very reasonable.
