Is that true ? I mean kernel 2.6.32 and 3.2.x.
I guess you mean these two different approaches: 1. Swapping on RAID https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Why_RAID%3F#Swapping_on_RAID 2. More on Linux RAID: Swap On RAID? http://blog.taggesell.de/index.php?/archives/53-More-on-Linux-RAID-Swap-On-RAID.html I'd go for the second: put swap under a raid-1 device; without going too much deep into the issue, it makes more sense to me.
