Hi,
starting with 9.3.0.2.x builds zpool status gives me a "block size: 512B configured, 4096B native" (using WD Red drives).
I tried to reformat a recreate the pool, but the warning remains.
Is there a way to solve the problem?
Keeping the drives like this impact on performance/stability/reliability of the pool?
Regards Jack

Re: "Misaligned" ZFS VDEVs
When you create your vdev, (Disks|ZFS|Pools|Virtual device |add) you have to check the Advanced Format option there

ashift: 9
there is a way to realign an already created vdev? (deleting it an recreating is not an option)

Re: "Misaligned" ZFS VDEVs
If you are already using it then it's not that big a deal for home NAS's. Yes it does hurt performance a bit, but you probably wouldn't notice it unless you are running some virtuals off it or have 10Gb NIC.
