Re: Way to create large block size under LINUX for ORACLE dataabase??

The block size is file system specific.

I just know that xfs can use block size greater than 4k in linux .

Refered From http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue55/florido.html

 Max. file system size Block sizes Max. file size XFS 18 thousand petabytes 512
bytes to 64KB 9 thousand petabytes JFS 512 bytes blocks / 4 petabytes 512, 1024, 2048, 4096 bytes 512 Tb with 512 bytes blocks 4KB blocks / 32 petabytes 4 petabytes with 4KB blocks ReiserFS 4GB of blocks, 16 Tb Up to 64KB
Currently fixed 4KB 4GB, 2^10 petabytes in ReiserFS (3.6.xx) Ext3FS 4Tb  1KB-4KB 2GB
