We are building a new version 9.0.1 data warehouse on Sun Solaris 2.6 migrating to Solaris 2.8. We will be using striped disk that is striped using Veritas Volume Manager on EMC disk.

The datawarehouse will be about 200 Gig. It will be written to throughout the day.

To this point, almost all of our databases have been created with an 8k block size. i'm not sure if that blocksize is optimal anymore. With 9i, what block sizes are people using in the field nowadays for data warehouses?

Also, if you use striped disk, what stripe size are you using and why?

Thanks for weighing in on this topic.
