Block Size

Data is read from and written to disk in units known as blocks. The Block Size property specifies the number of bytes per block.

Allowed Values

You can specify 0, 512, or 1024 bytes per block. If you specify 0, the server automatically determines the value by querying the operating system.

Default Value

The default is 0 bytes per block.

Modifying the Block Size requires changes to the database files. You must manually delete the database files and restart the domain server before the changes take place. To prevent message loss, make sure that no unread messages remain before deleting the database files.
