Hi,
you're absolutely right with this reasoning. This can happen when having placed the redo logs on RAID5 logical drives and having write cache enabled. So a commit won't guarantee
to get the committed tx recorded on disk. In case of a system crash, transaction
recovery could fail due to a incomplete thread recovery (rollforward with the redo logs) und could end up with an inconsistent database.

Hope this helps
