Quick question:

What happens when your network is unavailable? If Oracle can't write an archive log, it stops. Bad solution in my mind.

How about archiving to tape or talking management into buying a second drive. Disk space is cheap these days. In your current configuration, you have to be running into a hell of a lot of disk contention as everything resides on the same physical disk--redo logs, archive logs, indexes, tables, temp, etc.

In short, I wouldn't advise archiving to a network drive in the first place.
