It is a 4k sector drive, but I thought zfs recognised those drives and didn't need any special configuration...?
4k drives are a big problem for ZFS, much has been posted/written about it. Basically, if the 4k drives report 512 byte blocks, as they almost all do, then ZFS does not detect and configure the pool correctly. If the drive actually reports the real 4k block size, ZFS handles this very nicely. So the problem/fault is drives misreporting the real block size, to maintain compatibility with other OS's etc, and not really with ZFS.
