Are you suggesting that I run the swap space over the raid ? This was my primary intention too, to get high avability via raid1. But I read that the is some problem with that. That the raid need memory to swap, and that this memory then get swapped -> error. So, I decided to use the kernels stripe swapping. > but it does work for "stripped data"... > > and am assuming oyu have setup /etc/raidtab properly > too > > if you need to use swapp space that much... > add more memory......its only $45 for 64Mb or $65 for 128Mb ... > or even less on mailorder places ???? There server i work on have 640Mb. But I have 2 identical disks. with raid1 on the first partition on each leaves me with 2 partitions if I only use one for swap, I still got on left. So, why not use it for stripe swapping and increase the speed of the swap space.
