Good day -

Is using a raid1 partition pair for swap space supported?

I've tried creating a raid1 pair, running mkswap on it (no problem) and
then swapon (no problem once again), but when I force swapping to occur,
the system crashed with 'in swapper task - not syncing'.

There may have been more text at the time of the crash, but I can't
re-create the crash at this point in order to get the full text, since the
box is in use.

Anyone else running swapspace over RAID1?

The reason why I'd like to do this in the first place, is that the box
involved needs serious uptime/HA, and I don't want to go to all the
trouble of RAIDing the system and data disks, just so a physical disk
failure hosting swap space can crash the box.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Regards
