   Please excuse the dumb question, but I'll ask just to be safe. Are you
trying to create a tablespace with a block size different from your
instance's block size? Are you able to create a tablespace with any
different size? I also dimly recall something about Windows and block size,
but since I don't use Oracle on Windows so I promptly forgot it.

Subject: Tablespace block size limit / Windows


Hi everyone,=20

Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition, 9204, with disks allocated from
2 Clariion SANs

Several of these disks were formatted at 32k and 64k block size.  I was
under the impression the limitation on tablespace block size came from
the os block size.  I can't create a tablespace with a block size
greater than 16k, it fails. =20

Metalink says this is a limitation of Windows.=20

Anyone run into this, and if so, are there any creative ways around this
limit?  I can't even open a TAR.  It keeps kicking me out.  Googling
this returns nothing useful.

Thanks
