Thanks Guys.
Most of u suggested NOT to use RAID5 with Oracle for performance reasons. I
fully agree but my customer does not... for $$$ reasons.
Bottom line : VM RAID5 replay logging is definitely recommended for RAID5
recovery and so is oracle redo logging for database recovery even for a RAW
oracle partition.
