All ok.
In /etc/fstab:
/mnt/md/swap1 swap swap pri=5 0 0
/mnt/md/swap2 swap swap pri=5 0 0
Have you the same value at the sixth field?

Please respond
to Linux on 390
Port
We are running some database runs which overcommit memory. One of the
things I've noticed is that, with mulitple swap volumes, it does NOT spread
the load, but fills up the first swap volume, then the second and so forth.
The result during heavy paging is then a bottleneck against the fullest
device and the other devices are idle.
Shouldn't the paging algorithm spread the I/O across all of the swap
devices available to balance the load?
