[OpenIndiana-discuss] 3TB disks for tank zpool? Can only use 2 TB.

This only provides a small performance workaround for drives using 4K
sectors internally but presenting 512b sectors. It does nothing to enable a
partition to be greater than 2TB, which opensolaris puts on the disk when I
give zpool a bank empty unpartitioned disk.
