  Once again, it depends on what you get in statistics (V$SYSSTAT). Compare 'redo log space requests' to 'redo entries'. Increase your redolog buffers if its more than a few percents. Another indicator is the ratio of 'redo writes' to 'redo sync writes' - above 2 I would increase the redo log buffers.

 You need probably not increase them in size, individually, but you should increase their number by at least a factor 2. Look in V$WAITSTAT. If you have a noticeable number of waits for 'undo header blocks' it means you do not have enough rollback segments.

If you are running Oracle 7.2 or above, datafiles can be put in 'autoextend' mode - they will automatically increase in size when required. I may be a little old-hat, but I am rather in favour of not using this and allocating datafiles manually. I think that replacing an Oracle 'Cannot allocate extent ...' message by a Unix 'file system full' message is fudging rather than solving the problem. Better to estimate volumes beforehand and monitor it 'inside' Oracle. Just ask your systems engineer!
