Check the disk capacity for the archive log destination.

Hi All,
I keep getting a cannot allocate new log in the alert log. This freezes the
entire application and I am unable to connect to oracle in order to do a
statspack snap shot.
This is an upgrade to Version 8.1.7.4 set up on a WK2000 (NEW) Server with 2
gigs of memory.
We are writing to 3 separate disks
Our D&E drives are RAID 0+1. The log files (including application logs) are
written to these drives
The F drive is raid 5 - this is where our data resides. (No logs are written
to the F drive)
Currently we have 4 groups of redo log files
group 1 ('d:\oracle\oradata\gda\gda_11.log',
'e:\oracle\oradata\gda\gda_12.log') size 20M reuse,
group 2 ('d:\oracle\oradata\gda\gda_21.log',
'e:\oracle\oradata\gda\gda_22.log') size 20M reuse,
group 3 ('d:\oracle\oradata\gda\gda_31.log',
'e:\oracle\oradata\gda\gda_32.log') size 20M reuse,
group 4 ('d:\oracle\oradata\gda\gda_41.log',
'e:\oracle\oradata\gda\gda_42.log') size 20M reuse
and we archive to e:\oracle\arc\gda
These are our log settings from the init.ora
log_buffer = 131072
log_checkpoint_interval = 100000000
log_checkpoint_timeout = 0
I have the performance monitor running the whole time and when this happens
the CPU, DISK QUE LENGTH all look normal.
I have read the archive files regarding this error but thought that the
above set-up was sufficient.
Can anybody *please* give me some idea of what other areas I should be
looking at in order to prevent the error from occurring.
Would writing smaller files help? Disk space is not an issue.
Thanks - all advice appreciated,
N.
