TBH I think that ZFS should just move it's default ashift to 11 and have 4k blocks by default. Saves all this messing around with temporary gnop devices. Documentation that says (in effect) "if you do it the default way with most common hard drives these days performance sucks, so follow this convoluted work around" is not that useful - a lot of people will only come across it when their performance sucks and be disappointed.
