I don't believe this is true. I believe Veritas automatically scales it's default block size depending on the size of the partitiion you create, either 1k, 2k, 4k or 8k depending on the creation size. I would also like to chip in that I run 8k block size and create all my file systems with 8k block size specified. I may just be the exception. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: George Schlossnagle INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
