Actually, a few years back I sat in on a presentation put on by Network Appliance. It seems that they (at least at that time) used RAID 4. The downside to RAID 4 is that the parity drive is normally the bottleneck (since the parity must be written to with every write I/O -- no matter which of the other drives are written to, the parity drive gets hit as well) It seems that Network Appliance's log-structured filesystem got around the problem by somehow reducing the parity drive's I/O load. Then, because the rest of the drives in a RAID 4 array follow a set pattern of sector interleaving, it was possible to allow additional drives to be added into the array dynamically -- it was a pretty cool solution to a tough problem...

As one of the people involved in drafting the 7.2 release notes, there was a fair bit of discussion on this subject while the release notes were being written. The bottom line is that it's possible to come up with examples and counter-examples showing why 2xRAM swap is necessary or not. At the time the release notes were written, the kernel developers were still working on our kernel's VM subsystem, so the 2xRAM figure was considered a conservative figure. We also figured that the downside in most cases was minimal, particularly in those instances where the user is not that experienced (in other words, newbies are more likely to have relatively small-memory machines, making the 2xRAM recommendation a small burden in terms of disk space), and that people that *were* experienced would have a better idea than we would as to whether their 4-way, 2GB server box really needs 4GB or swap or not...
