Hello guys, a little update that let me more confused

I reinstalled the FreeBSD with 4k pages using the sysctl
vfs.zfs.min_auto_ashift = 12 and no errors after a lot of stress I put on
it.
One thing that I noticed is that with the pool as 4k, the disk fill up very
fast, recompiling the kernel used my 8GB space and didn't even completed.
But now I don't know if the 4k is the correct answer or if this just delays
the problem as the pages are bigger.
The TLDR of 4k vs 512 largely has to do with the size of the files going
onto your medium. Many files of a smaller size fit better on a 512 boundary.
Whereas larger mp3s or archives fair better on a 4k boundary. BTW these are
called SECTOR sizes. Not pages. :) 4k blocks typically read faster, than the
512 blocks (sectors). Because more data can be consumed in one read/write.
So really, your going to have to decide how best to "tune" your disk to best
suite it's intended use. Many small files. Or big files, and storage.
