Re: Operating system I/O buffer size

Hi Terry,

I think that Kevin is making the assumption that you will have matched your multiblock read size to the maximum physical I/O size possible on the platform, and suggesting that you make your extent size a multiple of that. For more information at both points please see the tips on the Ixora web site on "Why Large Multiblock Reads" and "Planning Extents".

In Kevin Loney's Oracle8i DBA handbook he talks about the O.S. I/O buffer size and to set your extents into multiples of that. How do I determine on NT what the O.S. I/O buffer size is?
