If direct io is being used, the difference maybe less.
Anyway I don't see any benefit using 1k/4k blocksize.
If you want best throughput, go with raw volumes.
Have done all tuning on hp kaio setup to maximize os capability?

Thanks V much Zhu
HP who is partnering the Benchmark states - since Filesystems are being Mounted with Direct I/O therefore 1K F.S. block size is preferred to 8K.
Cheers

Of course set to 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
