      Default:

        None

      Description:

      Beginning with Domino 8.5, the format of transaction logs can be optimized for Domino servers that use a block size different than the default block size of 512 bytes.

      The NOTES.INI option Create_R85_Log=1 will create new transaction logs with an updated format, properly aligning blocks for I/O.

      Default:
      When Create_R85_Log is absent or set to '0', the default behavior is to use the default size of 512 bytes for I/O block alignment.

      Recommendation:
      Bring down the server. Back up existing transaction logs, then delete them.  Set Create_R85_Log=1 in the server NOTES.INI and restart the Domino server to have new logs created using the updated format.  The new logs will have properly aligned I/O blocks. There is no need to verify the current block size. Domino will use correctly format the log even if the block size is 512.

      Restrictions:
      This option is only available with Domino 8.5 and later.

      Restarts:
      The Domino server must be restarted after modifying this setting.
