Block_Size on NTFS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all !

Reading through the list of settings returned by "SHOW ALL", I noticed the "block_size" variable, which defaults to 8192.

Running on Windows Server, my data directory is on an NTFS partition.
Running CHKDSK on this partition tells me that there are "4096 bytes in each allocation unit."

Are these allocation units the same as the "block_size", or does this only have to do with disk geometry ?
If they are the same, is it important that they match ?

Thanks for your help !

Regards,
