Has that changed? In a way it's moot as I just got the UPS tracking info for
3x2 TB disks. But the info might help someone else.

Doesn't work w/ an initial offset of 256 either. I suspect that it's something
to do w/ it being an USB disk. It's been an EFI label in both instances. I
tried offsets from 34 to ~64 w/o any change in behavior.

# zdb | grep ashift
If it prints "ashift: 12", then you are good, zpool picked up the
correct settings.
Well, to be pedantic, I'd add that ash

Not sure where to from here.

Ok, I refreshed my go

I'm trying to install on a 3 TB HGST disk which reports 512 byte sectors using

format(1m) correctly sees the size of the disk and I'm able to create a 128 GB
slice for a root
