The risk to using swap on raid is that resync and swap operations can
not go on at the same time so that if the swap raid set has been
damaged and is resyncing, swap can not be allowed. There are several
workaround scripts that detect the resync and allow it to finish
before proceeding. Would
Post your /etc/raidtab
You may have a spelling oops hidden in there, according to the error message :)

OK, no matter what I do or with any combo of drives I get this.
I am running Mandrake 6.0 w/ kernel 2.2.12 (tried 2.2.9) with MD support and
raid1 compiled in.
Tried the mandrake rpm raid tools and raid tools 19990824
The /etc/raidtab is exactly like the howtos and examples are.

This error really means: see syslog for more information.
I asume this is just a test setup, because using raid0 on two ide devices
on the same controller is not very useful, it will kill any performance

This is a new system and there is nothing on the 20gig drives.

I am planning on building a small SCSI RAID array (using software RAID)
for my home Linux server. Suppose I have 4 of the same drive (perhaps
4GB drives). What happens in a year or two when one of the drives fails
and I am unable to find a matching replacement? Sure, I could sub in a
9GB drive
