My application vendor is recommending a NTFS block (cluster) size of 64k for best performance. I'm skeptical, my understanding was that it was best to match the filesystem block size with the database block size. Is this not correct?
The database that they provide has a 4k block size, and my disk is formatted to NTFS's default 4k setting. Is there any possible benefit in increasing the filesystem block size? Does OpenEdge have any recommendations on this themselves?
Thanks in advance for any advise.
