NEVER EVER use raid0 for swap if you want reliability. If one drive fails the 
virtual memory gets corrupted and the machine will crash horribly (tm). 
Besides creating sepearte swap partitions on different physical discs will 
give you the same kind of performance, so using striping on a swap parition 
is kind useless for gaining performance.

I suggest using raid-1 or raid-6 for swap, so the machine can stay up if one 
drive fails.
