SubjectRe: Is Swapping on software RAID1 possible in linux 2.4 ?

redundancy. no point having your data redundant if your swap isn't -
1 drive failure will take out the box the moment it tries to access
swap on the failed drive.

PS: i have 2 boxes deployed running RH's 2.4.2, with swap on top of
LVM on top of RAID1. no problems sofar, even during resync.
