Revert "Improve AF hard disk detection"
This reverts commit 395350c85d9903beba43bac7ae79092ae25f1526 which accidentally introduced issue #955. Pools using AF drives which were originally created with a sector size of 512 bytes will now be correctly detected to have physical sector size of 4096. This is desirable for a new pool, however for an existing pool abruptly changing the sector size causes problems. For this reason, this change is being reverted until the additional logic can be added to detect the existing pool case. Existing pools must use the ashift size stored in the label regardless of what the disk reports. This is critical for compatibility. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <[email protected]> Issue #955

/*
* 2.6.30 API change
- * To ensure good performance preferentially use the physical block size
- * for proper alignment. The physical size is supposed to be the internal
- * sector size used by the device. This is often 4096 byte for AF devices,
- * while a smaller 512 byte logical size is supported for compatibility.
- *
- * Unfortunately, many drives still misreport their physical sector size.
- * For devices which are known to lie you may need to manually set this
- * at pool creation time with 'zpool create -o ashift=12 ...'.
- *
- * When the physical block size interface isn't available, we fall back to
- * the logical block size interface and then the older hard sector size.
+ * Change to make it explicit there this is the logical block size.
