I switched from XFS to ext3 and it's working very well now. I don't know if I have the swap file problem because with 512MB the swap file is not used much. Maybe I should get another 512MB and get rid of the swap file. But since the individual disks used by the RAID are visible to the system, would it be possible to use normal swap partitions on these disks? Marc
