 Hello,
 
 Your example is put in reversed.
 
 As you might be aware, the i386 platform has a 4gb limitation because of =
 32bit mode. So I think you are hitting
 this with ZFS as well. Is the machine capable of running AMD64 mode? =
 Then it should just work fine (if the rest
 of the hardware is sufficient ofcourse).
 
 I also believe this PR cannot be resolved, since the mentioned 32bit =
 addressing limit prevents anything like
 this.
