Archive log problem

Question

Hi:
I've changed my database (small db... 4GB data) to go archivelog mode. The problem is that in 5 minutes it generated hundreds of files in the archivelog destionation...
[root@server archivelog]# ls -lht
total 2.2G
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 9.1M Dez 14 17:20 arch_523640043_1_46517.arc
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 9.1M Dez 14 17:20 arch_523640043_1_46516.arc
-rw-r----- 1 oracle oinstall 9.1M Dez 14 17:20 arch_523640043_1_46514.arc
and hundreds more...
What's happening here?
BR,
Joao

Hi Sape and Tekicora:
No, I am not loading lots of data. And I can guaranteeed that there are no insert or updates on my application at the time I activated the archive log. My redologs are 100MB each... and I have 3 REDO LOGS.
So, this is no surelly normal i guess... This is really strange!
