Hi Vivek, "log buffer space" wait event occurs normally when Log Writer is too slow or when the log buffer is too small. I think in your case LGWR is slow. > Currently The Redo logfiles are on Mounted filesystem. What is the OS block size of this mount point? Did you enable CIO/DIO on this mount point? How many redo log members do you have?

NOTE - Increasing log_buffer size from 7Mb to 32 Mb only resulted in a further REDUCED Performance. Currently The Redo logfiles are on Mounted filesystem. Qs Will moving the Redo back to RAW Devices also Reduce the "log buffer space" wait wait for BATCH Runs? NOTE - Previously, For OLTP type Transactions on the SAME Database, High "log file sync" wait was also seen with Redo on Mounted filesystem which disappreared when the Redo were moved to RAW Devices. Oracle 10.2.0.3 Solaris 10 Will Share Statspack as needed please.
