--- Comment #20 from Nathan Whitehorn <nwhitehorn@FreeBSD.org> ---
To be more specific: if we want to have a system policy that everything is
aligned by default to minimum 4K, we should make that the system policy. If=
 we
don't want that policy, then we should follow what the disk drivers report =
and
try to make them as accurate as possible.

In neither case are hacks to the installer the right solution. Since we are=
 so
far along in the 11.0 release cycle, we can do that as a temporary solution
just to get the release out, but it's not something we would want in any ot=
her
circumstance. This is why I would prefer a direct commit to the release bra=
nch.

(As a note: we do get the stripe size right essentially all the time -- I h=
ave
not personally encountered hardware, advanced format or otherwise, on which=
 the
stripe size is misreported in years now. I suspect the number of exceptions=
 is
very small.)
