IT is "Initiator Target", and many LSI chips have a version of their
firmware available that will put them into this mode, which is
desirable for ZFS. This is opposed to
USB stick or similar to flash the controller with that
firmware.
Here is a guide that explains how to flash a LSI2008 that is on-board
on a motherboard; adapt to your situation as needed:

Hi all,
I've got an interesting (I think) thing happening with my storage pool
(tank, 8x1.5TB RAID-Z2)...namely that I seem to gain free-space
without deleting files. I noticed this happening awhile ago, so I set
up a cron script that ran every night and does:
pfexec ls -alR /tank > /export/home/
Huh, I don't actually ever recall enabling that. Perhaps that is
connected to the message I started getting every minute recently in
the kernel buffer,

Interesting, I didn't realize that Soracle was working on/had a
solution somewhat in place for 4K-drives. I wonder what will happen

Yes, you can. The WD will lie and say it's 512-byte sectors, and
you'll get misaligned reads/writes and performance will suffer but it

I have the machine off atm while I install new disks (18x ST32000542AS), but
IIRC they appeared as transport errors (scsi..transport, I can paste
the exact errors in a little bit).

Thanks for that!

Hi all,
My system is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo (E6600) with 8GB of RAM.
Running into some very heavy CPU usage.
First, a copy from one zpool to another (cp -aRv /oldtank/documents*
/tank/documents/*), both in the same system. Load averages are around
~4.8. I think I used lockstat correctly,

Here is mpstat output during a network copy; I think one of the CPUs
