I will be installing 11.20.3 Database in Aix 6.1 - I'am worry about the fs blocksize and redo blocksize

Hi experts.
I will be installing 11.20.3 Database in Aix 6.1 - I'am worry about the fs blocksize and redo blocksize.

We have a lot of db's with I/O problems and maybe the way the filesystems are created can be a issue?

Also I wonder if a redo of 4k can be more efficient than the default of 512?
We have a similar db in 11.2 and also Ibm Aix 6.1 and this is the wastage:

SQL> conn system
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> SELECT BLOCKSIZE FROM V$LOG;

 BLOCKSIZE
----------
       512
       512
       512

SQL> SELECT name, value FROM v$sysstat WHERE name = 'redo wastage';

NAME                                                                  VALUE
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
redo wastage                                                     1386749364

OK, "cio" is not in the list of the FS options. I've asked, because combination of "cio" and Oracle file autoextending could cause massive performance problems on AIX.

Anyway, looks like this is not Your case.

Consider about increasing the block size at least to 4K.
