Thanks for your response Carlos. I guess the only way to find out is to try it.
As we say here, test it with soda water - meaning, don't try it on a production machine. :-)
I am not placing swap on RAID for performance, but rather for fault tolerance. The bit about the kernel handling swap on multiple devices and increasing performance is correct as far as performance improvement is concerned, but my reason for putting swap on raid is to protect the system from crashing in case of drive failure.
I know, the howto says so as well. Assuming, of course, the HD doesn't crash too hard, but in any case, you increase your survival chances :-)
