Hi,
I've never seen anyone use CREATE CONTROLFILE to resize redo logs and I think that I probably never will.
The only advantage I can think of is that you can reuse your original group numbers though it might be helpful if you are REALLY tight on disk space. The disadvantages are that you need to close your database, take a backup and you lose the ability to roll forward beyond the RESETLOGS. I admit that I may be missing something but the add/switch/drop routine has worked for years, causes minimal disruption and is recommended by Oracle (so it's supported).

Cheers,
Mike Hately
Oracle DBA
