Compression feature, support for 64kb clusters?

Hi,

does the new (and future) compression feature included in katmai will support partitions formatted in 64kb?

the windows compression system required a 4kb cluster format and its not supported in other cluster size, this is a limitation when we use 64kb clusters for our database files.

Thanks.

Jerome.

The new compression feature will be done inside the SQL Server engine before data is written to disk, and is independent of the disk cluster size. So it will support 64kb formatted disk partitions.

Thanks,sqlsql
