This has been answered many times I guess:
My linux filesystem is using a 4k block size. Does this mean that I can only
store up to 4k in a tuple? Where exactly does that 8k limit come from? If
Postgres is limited to 8k per tuple on my system right now, then it would use 2
blocks.
It has been said that Postgres can use up to 32k per tuple. Is the max kb per
tuple equal to the block size of the filesystem? That is, if I want 32k max
tuple size, I have to put Postgres on a filesystem that is using 32k blocks
(or 16k??) ?
I'm confused! :)
