What is fast_start_mttr_target set to?
Are you using Auto. memory management?

All,

 

I'm on RH 2.6.9-42.ELsmp x86_64 Linux, running 10.2.0.3 <http://10.2.0.3> .
I've been having a lot of log issues for the last week.  Thanks to some help
here, I seem to have the worst of it under control now.

 

However, last night I began seeing log switches every 6 minutes.  The logs
are 20M in size, but are switching between 2-6M.  We do have
log_checkpoint_timeout set, but it is 1800 seconds (30 minutes), not 6
minutes.  

 

Does anyone have any ideas what other than the timeout or the log filling up
would cause a log switch?  It's not manual and it's not backups, it's been
too consistent and too long for either of those to make any sense.  I'm not
aware of anything else that should be triggering log switches and haven't
been able to find anything suspicious with Google or Metalink.

 

TIA,

 

John
