Re: Swap on raid

[Gulcu Ceki]

Hi,

Having read Jabob's Software-RAID HOWTO (0.90.2 - alpha 27th of
February 1997), I learned that you are not supposed to swap on a raid
partition. You can make the kernel stripe swap on different devices if
the same priority is given in the fstab file.

On the other hand, if the intent is higher reliability, then one can
swap on a RAID-1 partition. However, this is NOT safe because of
memory allocation problems as explained in the Jabob's HOWTO.

Hope this helps, Ceki
