Re: How configure block-size ?

Using a 2K blocksize is not a waste of disk ... your disks probably have the standard 512B blocksize anyways ....

To use the installer AND create a database with a size other than the default of 2K (other systems default already to 4K) is to edit your initx.orc file.

1. cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/install/rdbms/initx.orc
2. vi initx.orc
3. add in db_block_size = 8192
