I would also recommend to use 4K sector size using gnop and zpool export/import. I agree that using fixed recordsize is a must when you have databases and you have DB on each jail. Also there are a bunch of sysctl parameters you may want to play with, mostly about tuning the memory usage. Also it might be an idea to use partitions on disks and: 1. Use first 1-2G on each disk for swap (just in case). 2. Use the rest of the disk for 4K aligned and 4K sector size partition, labelled in some way (I use disk ID as label, for easy identification).
