Our Windows sys admin increased the OS block size to 64KB without advice. Three (3) systems were shipped with DB created with default DB_block size=8KB.
The DB bock size should be equal to the OS block or a multiple, which is not the case here.
Does anyone knows the impact of such block sizes setup.
Would it causes space or performance issues?
Would Oracle only store 8k per block wasting the left over space? or,
Would Oracle suffer performance reading / writing 8K pieces at a time?
Any known figure about performance impact?
Should I backup the DB (rman), reformat the drive and restore the DB; or impact are not enough significant.
