I have a question for those people out there running oracle (v7) on Unix (preferably AIX but any Unix OS will do). Are you running RAID 5? Do you put all of the Oracle files on the RAID 5 disks? According to a white paper from Oracle it looks dangerous to put the redo logs, rollback segments and temporary tablespace datafiles on RAID 5 disks (any files that do sequential reads)....

If you are running RAID 5 and have put all of the files for Oracle on the RAID 5disks, have you had a disk failure and have you successfully recovered from it?
