Rookie mistake. If either drive goes down you suddenly loose swap, and the
whole machine is foobared.
Uhm, you are obviously right: let's say that when I partitioned the
disks I didn't have swap space resiliency at the front of my thoughts.
The swap partition on the dead disk actually had some swap in use (48
blocks, per /proc/swaps) but swapoff seems to be capable to stop using
it or at least it doesn't complain and the dead partition disappears
from /proc/swaps.
But still no reboot. Do you think it is really messed up (I don't
understand how the process(es) those 48 pages belonged to can survive
without them) and there is no hope of a clean shutdown?
linux will do load ballancing over multiple swap
partitions, however it does not provide any redundancy.
