Each "log file sync" wait event, the timing is about 300ms...... A well tuned system with "log file sync" should be well within 5ms. how can a system like that does not have "log file sync" and "log buffer space" wait event and scale well? To me, obviously the underlying redo log filesystem/disk/raid is having some bottleneck. Without fixing the hardware itself, make no sense to fix oracle.
