According to Doc ID 1665736.1, this event can't be tuned or avoided. This
document is specific to writing to securefiles. Are you using securefiles?

My understanding its that oracle processes can get on with other things
but still need to hear from the AIO driver that the write competed
successfully.

If that's wrong, I'd like to hear a correct description. Not in the office
and on mobile so I'm just half speculating in case it helps .

Why would there be a wait event for an asynchronous write to complete?
Isn't not waiting for completion the whole point behind asynchronous writes?

Just the filesystem io one which defines asynchronous, direct io or etc
as supported by whatever platform you are on.

AIO driver status might be another thing to check.

No parameter changes recently? Any particular Oracle parameter you
are thinking about?

Is that not a wait for asynchronous write completion? Haven't changed
parameters related to filesystem io or similar recently, have you?
