I'm installing Oracle 8i on Solaris 7.

Most of the data I have will be stored as binary. It will be read-only from various clients. The DB_BLOCK_SIZE I have set up is 8k. The filesystem block size 8k. I will be storing 90% of the Oralce files on a RAID 5 volume.

My question is:

Does it sound correct to use 128k stripe units, and a multi-block-read- count of 16 (16 * 8k = 128k)?

Thanks,

Lowell
