Filesystem Block Size ? 1K or 4K or 8K ?

Folks

We are in the process of Setting up DB Server for an OLTP Banking Application Benchchmark.

HP-UX B.11.31
system device block size(think this is the O.S. block size) = 1K Base page size = 4K.
DB_block_size = 8K

Should the Filesystem (VXFS) Block Size be set to 1K, 4K or 8K? ... Personally I think it should be 4 K (i.e. Equal to the Page-size)

Cheers & Thanks V much

Vivek

P.S. Will provide any data needed
