Sorry... my question was partly answered by Jim Klimov on this list: http://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2012-June/008546.html Apparently the currently-suggested way (at least in OpenIndiana) is to: 1) create a zpool on the 4k-native drive 2) zfs send | zfs receive the data 3) mirror back onto the non-4k drive I can't test it at the moment on my setup - has anyone tested this to work?
