Kevin Loney's Oracle8i DBA Handbook says you need to know the "operating system's I/O buffer size" in order to set the init param DB_FILE_MULTIBLOCK_READ_COUNT correctly.
What is the definition of "operating system's I/O buffer size Loney is talking about? What is the value of " I/O buffer size" for SunOS 5.8? Went to Sun's web site and got lost...I just want two straight answers to my two questions.
