+1 on this. We tested zfs-on-linux last year and it does automatically
handle disk partitioning for correct alignment. What we do is just add
ashift=12 option during zpool create. No more gpart/gnop/ashift/import
steps.

Back to FreeBSD ZFS,

After reading the thread, I'm still at a loss on this (too much info I
guess).. regarding gpart/gnop/ashift tweaks for alignment, do we still need
to perform gpart on newly purchased (SSD/SATA/SAS) Advanced Format drives?
Or, skip gpart and proceed with gnop/ashift only?
