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.

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?

During a Benchmark Run on Batch Type Transactions on NON-RAC Database using 
Dedicated sessions following High "log buffer space" wait is seen.
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.

Cheers & Thanks

Vivek
