Hi everyone,

I apologize for asking such a fundamental question on the Linux-RAID list but the answers I found elsewhere have been contradicting one another.

So, is it possible to have a swap file on a RAID-10 array?

Yes, and very fast as well. Do note that if you (a) need to boot from a recovery CD and (b) have a low memory machine which really needs swap early, most of the ones I've tried don't use such a swap, you have to start it by hand. Also, I have not tried suspend to disk and restore using RAID-10, it's on my to-do list, but *way* down.

But in general you will find it very fast and reliable.
