Swap is better outside RAID (but on both disks as failsafe measure). IIRC in your case the RAID is already installed, you could get a third small disk (or resize existing RAID,if possible at all - no experience). "nvraid" is a software raid which depends on BIOS settings and (frequently) a Win-driver to operate. Read the articles on www.gentoo-wiki.com (Gentoo with NVRAID using dmraid). Using RAID0 with nv2 and separate /boot partition. As i have null RAID experience (just theory) someone else, here. HTH.Rumen
