What is a local write wait?

2003-11-01 Thread Rajesh . Rao
Was creating an index with a degree of 4, and in unrecoverable manner?
There were few waits for an event called "local write wait". Can anyone
shed more light on this wait?

Thanks
Raj

Rajesh:

Typically DBWR has to free up some buffers when you want to read something
from the disk. During this process there are chances
that you will be waiting for your local buffer (i.e blocks
dirtied/invalidated by your session) to be written to disk. During this time
the
waits are shown as local write waits.

BTW do you have any other write waits or just seeing local waits?  And also
are you noticing any timeouts for this waits? Typically
we wait for local wait up to one second and spin (or retry) again.. Timeouts
for local write indicates a serious problem unless you
have tiny  buffer cache or extremely slow disk'

Thanks KG.

There were underlying OS I/O issues. The SA is looking to fix the same.

This event is one of those 'you would never see' in normal database
operations.  As I have mentioned
in my earlier post, existance of this event translates in to some serious
I/O issues or broken disk in RAID05
or something similar to that..
