Hi

A question in between: what sense does it make to have the swap onto
raid?

I think, that moment your machine starts swapping youŽll get some
performance problems which wouldn't be solved by using "raid-swap"
instead of swap on a single disk or whatever. Think of the meaning of
swap (increasing physical memory for security not for daily work).

Greetings, Dietmar
