I have done this, protected by an if statement to check if the drives are busy syncing, it should work, but it is a bit clumsy. It would be neater to have something which waited until the syncing was finished and then mounted the swop partitions. If my swop partitions are not on raid devices, am I vulnerable to the above bug? (Not that I really want to test this on production machines).
