restart dfs. I believe it should be sufficient to restart the namenode only, 
but 
others can confirm.

Subject: changing the block size

Currently I am using the default block size of 64MB. I would like to change it 
for my cluster to 256 megabytes since I deal with large files (over 2GB).  What 
is the best way to do this? 


What file do I have to make the change on? Does it have to be applied on the 
namenode or each individual data nodes?  What has to get restarted, namenode, 
datanode, or both?
