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 ?
