Hi Scott,

Log generation rate -

500MB size of log file is generated within minimum 3 mins to maximum of 20
mins depending on the database behavior.

I did not understand the "fsync" stuff you mentioned. Please help me know
how would fsync is related to log generation or logging host IPs in the log
file ?

Thanks
Venkat
