If the first drive failed (/dev/sda -- with the swap } space), /dev/sdb would become the new /dev/sda anyway. And so fstab } would be correct in pointing to /dev/sda.
You should mirror swap space! Otherwise you will have an outage if a disk fails. Most places would not accept an outage for a simple disk failure. IMO.
