Hi
A question in between: what sense does it make to have the swap onto
raid?
I think, that moment your machine starts swapping you�ll get some
performance problems which wouldn't be solved by using "raid-swap"
instead of swap on a single disk or whatever. Think of the meaning of
swap (increasing physical memory for security not for daily work).
Greetings, Dietmar
Swap on raid isn't for performance, it's for reduncany. If a disk
with a swap partition goes down, the system goes down. With swap on
raid, you're protected.
We know raid1 works, but would swap on raid5? i hope it would, as
raid5 is less wasteful of disk space than raid1.
