Just to mention that changing the mount points from:

dbnasg403-12a:/vol/dodpupdbtst03 on /ORA/dbs03/PUPDBTST type nfs (rw, actimeo=0,hard,nointr,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,timeo=600)
dbnasg401-12a:/vol/dodpupdbtst02 on /ORA/dbs02/PUPDBTST type nfs (rw, actimeo=0,hard,nointr,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,timeo=600)

to

dbnasg403-12a:/vol/dodpupdbtst03 on /ORA/dbs03/PUPDBTST type nfs (rw,noatime,hard,nointr,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,timeo=600)
dbnasg401-12a:/vol/dodpupdbtst02 on /ORA/dbs02/PUPDBTST type nfs (rw,noatime,hard,nointr,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,tcp,timeo=600)

it did have a big impact. The profile of the recovery process on terms of calls changed quite a lot:

We did also increased the shared_buffers from 12 to 24GB.

The lag has decreased most of the time:

..



It goes up till a maximum of 25 minutes (for the last two weeks), it looks correlated with an autovacuum at the master in one of the big tables of the schema. It happens at about 5hours interval. Is there a way to avoid this ? Should I ask to the master db dba to try to have a more active autovacuum policy?


Thank you,
Ruben
