block size

[subodhbagade]

Hi,

Whenever i am creating any new directory (Mount point) i.e

(1)#mkdir /oracle/PRD/sapdata5_new
and on long listing

(2) #cd /oracle/PRd
# ls -l

it show byte size 96, that is

drwxr-xr-x 37 oraprd dba 96 Feb 13 11:14 sapdata5_new

(3)How i can create same dir with 8192 byte size, so that SAP (oracle )application will support it ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
subodh

subodh I don't think you create a mount point with a specific block size that is done at the file system level. do a man on newfs or newfs_vxfs and that should give you and idea

No application has any business caring about the directory size. The 92 bytes you see is how much space is allocated in the "empty" directory sapdata5_new. As you fill it up, it will grow and grow.

It depends on the contents - i.e. the number of files contained in the directory.
