Greetings, Quick question: I am about to acquire some disks for use with ZFS (currently using zfs-fuse v0.7.0). I''m aware of some 4k alignment issues with Western Digital advanced format disks. As far as I can tell, the Hitachi Deskstar 7K3000 (HDS723030ALA640) uses 512B sectors and so I presume does not suffer from such issues (because it doesn''t lie about the physical layout of sectors on-platter) Can someone confirm this or point out any other known issues with the disks? I will be using the disks raw, unpartitioned. Many thanks, Luis. ----...
