I am creating a few large filesystems on a Sun E3000 using Veritas Volume Manager. The filesystems will be used for Oracle. I want to stripe the data across several volumes, but I don't know what to use as the stripe size. The block size we are using for Oracle is 8k, so should we use that for our stripe size? I have found varying recommendations from 4k to 64k as the stripe size and I was wondering if anyone has any specific recommendations given an Oracle block size. Thank you.
