Greeting ALL

Can someone explain to me why I was successfully able issue (through
application) an I/Os of 128K each (monitored by DTrace) while my Maxphys=56K
only ??????

My understanding is that Maxphys is the max I/O size that the storage device
can handle for a single I/O, it has been well documented that if and
application issued an I/O larger than Maxphys, it would be break down to
multiple I/O of Maxphys sizes.

But in my case , this did not happen ????????

Any logical explanation for my case ?

I am using an Intel based machine with the latest release of Opensolaris
