On the CentOS mailing list, a poster suggested spliting swap space into
two separate partitions on two drives. Next someone else commented that
such a scheme would cause a crash if one of the disks with part of the
swap space died. A third poster answered that it would, and that swap
space should be mirrored (!). Does this sound correct? I thought that
splitting swap space across two disks was actually recommended.
Thanks,

Yep!
swap must be mirrored.
