-----Original Message----- Carmichael Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 9:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sometimes you don't have the option to decide if you are using a single RAID set or not. At my last job I was told "hey, we have 375GB of space for you -- and it's RAID-5". I was not asked if I wanted it configured that way, I was not listened to when I protested. So the alternatives I faced were a) run my database on RAID-5 and do the best I can or b) quit because I refused to run a database on RAID-5
Option b seemed a little extreme. You really can't make pronouncements like "you shouldn't run a production database on a single RAID set" because sometimes you have to.
Oh yeah -- the database ran fine, we had no performance problems and we DID have good backups.
So what setup would you have preferred if it was all up to you?
