ZFS raidz and 4k sector disks

[Alexey Tarasov]

Hello.

I see considerably increased performance when creating over gnop -S 4096 virtual disk. Even when I create zpool over raw disks the performance is very bad and concurent writes stalls. When using gnop, zfs works VERY fast!

Btw, here is another discussion, may be there is a bug in a mav@ commit, because he has added support for >512 sector size:
