Most filesystems default to 4k or smaller block sizes, so that's what PG is accustomed to run on. I think it would only really be an issue if PG's block size weren't a multiple of the filesystem block. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
