Good question. At this point I haven't seen any replies to your request.
The specific wait points to the log buffer itself as being too small, not
particularly the redo logs themselves. Your init.ora parameters show this
buffer as being only 10-meg. I would suggest you increase it. But your redo
logs are only 10-meg themselves, so you should consider increasing the size
of the logs while you are at it or you may hit that as the next limit. Since
the redo logs are continuously written, it is usually recommended that they
be on a device that is devoted to redo logs.

At a Benchmark a particular Processing + DML intensive batch Job (Accounts
Interest Calculation) is experiencing
"log buffer space" wait .
Config :-
On Solaris 9
Cpu_count = 72
Oracle 9.2
Online Redo logfiles are on a RAID 0+1 Volume (NOT Raw or RAID 1) Log_buffer
= 10 M
$ sar Command Outpuit %wio only about 6 % for Volume containing the redo
logfiles
Database in NOARCHIVELOG mode
Qs. How can we reduce this wait event ? Would RAW / RAID 1 for redo logfiles
help ?
Qs. Could this be a Bug ?
