I'd just like to clarify that :)
>From the 0.90.7 version I quote:
There has been a lot of discussion about whether swap was stable on RAID
devices. This is a continuing debate, because it depends highly on other
aspects of the kernel as well. As of this writing, it seems that swapping on
RAID should be perfectly stable, except for when the array is reconstructing
(eg. after a new disk is inserted into a degraded array). When 2.4 comes out
this is an issue that will most likely get addressed fairly quickly, but until
then, you should stress-test the system yourself until you are either satisfied
with the stability or conclude that you won't be swapping on RAID.
