Hi,
I just bought 4 Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EARS, which uses 4k sectors:

However, diskinfo reports 512byte sectors. I hoped FreeBSD would figure out the sector size stuff. Is there any way to correct this? I am using the disks in a ZFS raidz.

Code:
diskinfo -c ad12
ad12
512 # sectorsize
1000204886016 # mediasize in bytes (932G)
1953525168 # mediasize in sectors
1938021 # Cylinders according to firmware.

63 # Sectors according to firmware.
