I'm being asked to support little oraclette dbs on 5 disk drives. This is not a raid 5 performance question, http://www.baarf.com/ My question is about the redundancy of the control/redo dbf. What is the statistical argument for running with one control file on a 5 disk/ raid 5 vs splitting the array and duplexing the to different filesystems on stand-alone disks? -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
