- yes, this is a bug in 5.2. greg lehey is working on it (i think so) - mirroring swap _is_ useful because it's an backend store for memory pages. if you lose your swap partition and the kernel wants to page in, you or better the kernel will have a problem. haven't tried that but i think the machine will panic. hth, toni -- Kann man etwas nicht verstehen, dann urteile man | toni at stderror dot at lieber gar nicht, als dass man verurteile. | Toni Schmidbauer -- Rudolf Steiner |
