Hi all, Under Oracle, you can set the number of blocks to read (multiblock_read) as well as the block size you'll use under a database. If the OS can handle reads of a certain amount, then as a DBA you size these factors to be equivalent to the maximum amount of data that can be read at once by the OS from disk. For example, if an OS can read 32K in one read, and oracle's block size is set to 8K, then multiblock_read would be set to 4, as in 4 = 32K/8K My question then is, what is the maximum amount of data a single read can retrieve under linux? I'm running RH6.2 Also, anyone know what this factor is under Solaris 7? Thanks, Ahbaid. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
