  • 8k block sizes not supported in x86 and x86_64

    Posted on

    Hello folks,

    Section 2.3 of the Satellite Installation Manual recommends using 8k block sizes for the database partition. However, x86 and x86_64 architectures (which I suspect is the majority of the userbase) only support a max of 4k blocks. Can you either provide instructions on how to get 8k blocks working properly for x86 and x86_64 architectures, or just remove the instruction altogether?
