I'm getting ready to roll out a server running Oracle on Linux. The
system has an HP NetRAID controller on it, and while it is currently a
RAID-5 3-drive configuration, I'm considering switching to a 4-drive
RAID 1 configuration.
My real question, is how do strip-size, Oracle block size, and ext2 file
system block size interact, and what should they be to get the most
efficient database? (The database, while not large, is used for both
operations and "warehousing", so it is difficult to identify what the
read/write ratio is).
It is my inclination to back the strip size 4K, leave the Oracle block
size at 2K (default), and build the FS with block size=2k
Thanks.
