ORA-00357 strange... compared to V$CONTROLFILE_RECORD_SECTION

Greetings,

I got a strange error when creating a loggroup with 3 members in.

I got ORA-00357 (too many members specified for log file, the maximum is string)

Then I looked at V$CONTROLFILE_RECORD_SECTION

and it says:

TYPE RECORD_SIZE RECORDS_TOTAL RECORDS_USED FIRST_INDEX LAST_INDEX

according to REDO LOG here it should be no problem, or what am I missing here ?

Thanks for any comments.
