There's no point in mirroring control files on the same disk. Control files should be mirrored across disks. That way, if one disk crashes you can get a copy of the current control file from another disk (or just drop that control file from your init.ora file). Control files are small and have minimal disk I/O.

If you are mirroring your disks in hardware there is nothing to be gained by mirroring control files and redo logs in Oracle.
