Relationship between an OS block and an Oracle Block

CastellJun 23 2015 — edited Jun 23 2015

Platform : Linux Enterprise Distros like RHEL, Oracle Linux, Unices like AIX and Solaris

DB version: 11.2

We use 8KB oracle blocks for our DBs. I realize that OS has blocks too. How are OS blocks mapped to Oracle blocks in an oracle datafile ?
