In general I wouldn't recommend building a raid for swap anyway, it doesn't gain you much and the performance overhead for RAID will make a difference in this situation, since you want your memory to be as fast as possible. What I would do instead is... part swap --recommended --ondisk sda part swap --recommended --ondisk sdb This will give you twice as much swap without the performance overhead, and if one disk fails you can just 'swapoff' that partition and keep running with just one swap partition. -- Jason Kohles email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.jasonkohles.com/ "A witty saying proves nothing." -- Voltaire _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
