I installed sql server 2008 on my system and create 1 user Db. when i executed
dbcc fileheader('master')
sectorsize and actualsize were 4096 and 512 bytes respectivley.
and for user database
sectorsize and actualsize were 512 and 512 bytes respectivley.
why sectorsize is completely different for this DB?
what tthe diference between sectorsize and actualsize?
regards,
Manish

Because sector size was 4096 where system database got created(except TEMPDB).
