I think I would try making your swap partition RAID 0
I have MD0 /boot Raid1
MD1 swap Raid 0
MD2 / (root) Raid 1
MD3 /home Raid 5
and it works well with both 10.2 and 10.3. There is no advantage to
using raid1 with swap anyhow, you really don't need it to be backed up
or duplicated and it just slows the system down even if it did work.
