I agree. And this is why Oracle has the capability to manage many redo log members in the same group and many copies of the control file. It does not offer the same for regular data files.

It is that conclusion with which I disagree." I believe the forgone conclusion you are talking about is that "mirroring outside of Oracle MAY result in data loss" MAY is a very important word. The multiplexing of redo logs across multiple disks and controllers is a simple way protect your database from potential failure. It is simply irresponsible to dismiss it out of hand. Sure you might cite performance concerns, but for most databases in most enterprises redo log multiplexing does not constitute a performance bottleneck. Your position appears to be that hardware mirroring, software mirroring, RAID hardware, and the controllers feeding them all are infallible. Multiplexing redo logs is simply a form of insurance, and should be considered a default element of Oracle database design.
