Re: Block Size for OS

I am not quite sure what you mean by OS block size - cluster size (partition dependent) or memory page size (OS dependent)? The cluster size in NT is a function of the size of the partition for both FAT and NTFS partitions, but can be customized for NTFS. The page size is 4k for Intel and 8k for Alpha.
