That is one opinion.  I don't happen to agree that it is stupid, it is
only another method.  Isn't it a wonderful thing to be able to exercise
your rights?  Even if the right you are exercising is the right to be wrong.

Swap on raid 0 is absurd and not recommended (although it works), you simply get better results using what Jan recommends.

However, swap on raid 1 does have its merits (redundancy).
