I'd vote for making ,"sectorsize=512/4096" a artificial default. I'm not entire sure about the different Windows versions, but since BHYVE_UEFI.fd isn't able to access drives other than 512b sector size, I think it doesn't make sense to provide 8k drives by default in case of default ZFS volume. If I remember correctly Win6.3 (8.1/Server2k12) did support 4k and 8k native drives, with the limitation that "windows internal database - mssql" might not be usable, but I couldn't UEFI boot unless I changed sectrosize to 512 and stripezesize to 4k/8k. I guess not may other operating systems support bigger sector sizes as well as FreeBSD does today. So this artifical format might be what most times makes most sense. -harry _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
