Hi List,

I'm looking for recomendations, best practice, etc about setting strip size for RAID5 arrays.
We have a hybrid system (mainly OLTP) with prevelant reads operations and have limited number of
disks.
My question is should I merely setup the stip size equal to Oracle block size or should I set it
larger considering size of maxphys. I/O operation for certain OS? I've read some articles and
haven't found clear recommendations yet.

We are on 8.1.7, Linux

Thank you for your help.
Ed
