Hmm seems like /255/63 is so embedded that either VMware or illumos is
overriding what I put in the vmdk file. I managed to get an aligned msdos
partition by using parted, however still haven't managed to get an aligned
solaris partition within that (always seems to pick up the /255/63 geometry
Think I've figured it out myself. As my disks are virtual, I should just
be able to remove them from the machine and change their geometry to
X/255/32 rather than Y/255/63 and things should be aligned. Done the maths
and the new partition size should be just slightly bigger so I shouldn't

No matter what I try I can't seem to get a 4K aligned root pool using the

No matter what I try I can't seem to get a 4K aligned root pool using the
OpenIndiana installer (oi151-a7 live image).
I'm using ESXi using 4K aligned disks. VMware ensures the virtual disks
are 4K aligned and I can get the root pool 4K aligned by fudging sd.conf on
the live image.
