archive_lag_target is 0.
Nothing else is strange or has changed for months....I've been trying to
make changes and can't get approval!

Hi,
Granted that you aren't archiving full logs i.e. 2-6M instead of full
20M I would assume there is something in log handling configuration
triggering logfile switch, because if it would have been because of the
load on the database archived files would be close to logfile in size.
It might help to analyze this if you post you database configuration
related to log handling like all log* parameter and archive_lag_target.

This has been going on for about 19 hours now, and the system isn't
being hammered. If it was, I could understand the log switches. But I
have 20M logs that are switching when 2-6M in size. I did have problems
with AWR before, but that is now under control....and then this
starts.....

What time did it start ?
Are you aware of the automatic stats collection that takes
place in 10g ? This runs to collects stats on objects with stale
statistics every night with a window that is something like
midnight to 6 am.
Your system might run for weeks doing a couple of minutes
of stats collection every (weekday) night, and then decide one
night that most of the tables in the system have gone stale and
hammers the system for hours on end.

All,
I'm on RH 2.6.9-42.ELsmp x86_64 Linux, running 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
