3. Have two swap partions one without raid for the resume and one with raid for swapping, large enough, that the first one is not really used for swapping (I haven tested this).
Most intersting. Option 3 does both un-mirrored and mirrored. I'm not sure I want to test that one out, but sound plausible. I guess I'm good with putting swap on an un-mirrored partition, as long as it doesn't break the mirrors in the event of one disk failure, (see my post a few minutes ago on this). Seems un-mirrored would be faster anyway, but I want to keep the integrity of the mirrored partitions.
For safety, the un-mirrored would have to be defined with lower priority, so that the mirrored swap gets filled in first. For the other part of your question, notice that you have five mirrors, and that if one disk fails you have to partition and intialize five mirrors. An alternative I haven't tested is to create one large raid, and partition the resulting raid. Then the rebuild procedure would be to re-create that single raid partition. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
