Re: Swapping on raid (Re: raid0, raidtools 0.90 and kernel 2.2.0-pre1)

[M.H.VanLeeuwen]

here is what i've tried on 2.0.36 on a raid 5 file system to
show it can be done, but I don't normally run this way because
of comments about locking up if resources are unavailable

#swapoff -a
#dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1k count=10000
#mkswap swapfile
#losetup /dev/loop3 swapfile
#swapon /dev/loop3
#free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        144044     141608       2436     120948      31968      29496
-/+ buffers/cache:      80144      63900
Swap:         9996          0       9996

#swapoff /dev/loop3
#losetup -d /dev/loop3
#swapon -a

it doesn't seem to matter if the swapfile is on raid 0/1/5 device
