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?
