We have a mechanism (GEOM stripe size) for drivers to supply a default

a number that we think is more likely to be safe than the current
defaults (the logical sector size, usually 512 bytes) and potentially
tunable by the user. Hacking the userland tools one-by-one to impose
their own default policies to override the systemwide one is, while a
perfectly valid stopgap right before a release, a ridiculous long-term
solution. Do you disagree with any of that?
I'll tell you whether I agree or disagree when you stop putting words in
my mouth.

This is ridiculous. I've asked a series of technical questions about
generalizing a patch you made and that I think is a good idea. In
response, those questions have been met with a non-stop torrent of
insults and abuse instead of answers, with only one eventual nugget of
information in response to one of them -- that you ran into problems
with mfid -- to redeem it. I'm done with this discussion.
Hopefully we can have a real conversation about this at this some point
after the release.
