I am going to configure a new Solaris 8 SAN storage node into an existing 
Windows environment. The block size on the WIndows Networker server is 
currently default of 64kb. When i mount a volume Netowkrer reports the block 
size as 64kb
   
  I expect that the default block size on the Solaris 8 server will be 128kb. 
Is this correct?
   
  What is the recommendation for block size in a mixed OS environment? Should i 
reconfigure the windows server as 128kb or should the Solaris block size be 
reduced to 64kb? OR, should i leave both servers using differing block sizes?
   
  If i change the block size on the windows server how will this effect the use 
of my existing volumes which are all currently written to using the 64k size.
   
  Do I need to be worried about the block size settings at all?
   
   
  Regards.
