On my server, I use RAID-1 for swap as well. Why risk the system crashing because half the swap dissappears suddenly because of a drive failure? There actually is only 1 system that I use regularly with a RAID-0 partition. And that machine is only used for virtual machines I use for testing. If that one dies, worst that happens is I need to recreate the images. Not a big loss for me. -- Joost Roeleveld
