Always, always, ALWAYS have at least one of your control files stored on a
"local" drive and on another controller.  So when the RAID controller freaks
out and Oracle can't write to that control file, it might still be easy to
recover.

Amongst a host of other Perfect Storm confluences beyond my control, there
was no recent backup.  Damn, I'm glad I dup'd the control file.  Up and
running and all's well.

Also worth mentioning that this is Oracle 8.1.7.4.0 on WinTuke (not my
choice).
