I recently upgraded our Linux 5.5.3 server to 5.5.4.1. Since then, I have had numerous sleepless nights due to being called about the log consumption rising to above 90% and being pinned.
I narrowed the problem down to a Oracle TDP backup pinning the log. I did some quick Googling (at 3am) and found a discussion about breaking up long/large Oracle backups into chunks. I presented this to the owner of the node. He made the suggested changes but wants to know what has changed since his backup size (~90G) hasn't changed for a long time. In the past, his backup would go idle and timeout. He asked if I had changed something. I checked my server options and nothing has changed when it comes to IDLETIMEOUT or COMMTIMEOUT. Is anyone experiencing similar problems with 5.5.4.x ?
