Solutionfrom metalink:
To display the file system block size, execute the "tunefs" command as root:
# tunefs -vis the name of the device you would like to display the file system block size of.
For example:
# tunefs -v /dev/dsk/c2t6d0
*NOTE: tunefs is not necessarily installed on all HP/UX systems.
tunefs will only work for HFS, and not for JFS.
Hope this helps!

Re: db_block_size
check for the blksize option
YOu have to specify the block size during the creation of file system.
Like
hfs file system
# newfs -F hfs -b xxxx /dev/vgxx/rlvyy
# newfs -F vxfs -b xxxx /dev/vgxx/rlvyy
You can check the existing block size using the
#fstyp -v /dev/vgxx/rlvyy
Thanks

Re: db_block_size
As I understand, db_block_size specifies the default data block size, it should be multiple of OS level block size. I don't think there's any kernel parameters related to this setting, on HPUX 11, the data block size is 4K, so in my oracle instance, db_block_size=8096.

Gary

Re: db_block_size
dedicating the disk to the database then you can set
the block size higher.
The critical calculation is
db_block_size * multiblock_count <= UNIX_block size
Some write intensive systems may perform better with
db_block_size <= UNIX_block_size
All sizes are powers of 2.
This is almost always the case. Changing db_block_size
has requires rebuilding the database. Changing UNIX block size required rebuilding the partition. Multiblock_count is a startup pararameter and can be changed on each database startup.
Don't forget to set the minumum extent when you create
your tablespaces. It should be a power of 2 > blocksize.

Re: db_block_size
db_block_size * multi_block_count >= UNIX block size
Equal should mimimize the system reads per database multi-block read.
If db_block_size is greater than UNIX block size you may get multiple system level io requests for all database accesses.
