I agree, it is not a good idea to Raid swap space, it is also faster if you do not Raid the swap.
Given the main reason for RAID is fault tolerance, what happens if the drive holding SWAP craps out and it's not RAID? Would that not tend to cause problems for a running system to lose everything in SWAP? On a server I have at home, everything is on RAID 5, except /boot, which is RAID 1.
Yes, but it has been proposed to mount swap on a raid 0, and that doesn't have any fault tolerance, rather the contrary, and it is slower than two swap stripes. That is my point, that swap on raid 0 is not recomended. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
