Hi,
On my new 10.3 install I set up 2 drives in raid1 mirror, using software
raid in yast. All seems to be working fine except in Kinfocenter>memory
swap is shown as not available. Yast shows swap with an "*" beside it.
My partitions are set up as follows:
primary
/dev/md0 /boot
extended
/dev/md1 /swap
/dev/md2 /
/dev/md3 /home
/dev/md4 /share
I'm not that familiar with tweaking swap and have only set it up in
yast>partitioner before with no previous problems. This is my first raid
setup so there may be an issue with that, but again, all others
partitions are working fine. I tried editing swap in yast to format it
again as /swap but it failed with an error code -3004.
Anyone know what this problem may be?
Many thanks,

I don't normally SoftRAID the swap partitions as it would be faster
just to have multiple ones instead (you're not limited to one).
Given one of the goals of RAID is to keep the system running when a
drive fails, what happens when a drive containing swap croaks?
my guess is (for unix or linux) -- kernel panic
