Luke, Thanks for an excellent write up. I was going to head down this path until I calculated that new 40GB drives + the upgraded IDE controllers to do RAID on was going to cost me more than just staying with SCSI (SCSI drive prices have dropped away significantly in the US recently, I ordered some 36GB 80MB/sec drives fairly cheap).

If you're doing software RAID in Linux, there is absolutely no gain in putting a swap partition on RAID. It's just more work for the kernel, since if you have multiple swap partitions the kernel will just stripe them automatically anyway. -- Del -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
