Speaking of the increase in block size and frag size, on the FreeNAS side of the house we discovered that the new values make sense with larger disks and memory disks, but they don't make sense with rc.initdiskless's generated md's, et all. So we've hacked rc.initdiskless to use smaller sizes. Just a thought since we're talking about this change from the 8.x defaults to the 9.x defaults.
