Some people feel that avoiding LVM for swap gives a modicrum of performance improvement - but unless you are tearing up the I/O you won't notice.
if you have two separate swap partitions, one on each drive, you will have double the swap space and the kernel will use both partitions, spreading the I/O load across two drives.
the downside is that if one drive dies, your system will crash as you have lost some of the contents for swap.
besides, you really shouldn't be using swap in the first place, right ;-) David Lang _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
