Sounds logical. Maybe the RAID docs should be changed to reflect that - they
advise you that "striping isn't necessary as swap subsystem does that anyway"
(that's correct, but only a matter of speed).
But I think you're right and it'll crash when one disk fails - not sth sb
wants who runs RAID5, so one should be advised to make it RAID5, too - for
safety reasons ...
Booting the system is no problem - swap devices not present will generate an
error msg, but system will boot without that swap, too.

OK, I'll do! Thanks.
