Ssince the kernel can and will strip over swap with equal priority and you want swap to be FAST, you should put it 'near the beginning' of (each?) disk, outside LVM or similar. LVM is not the fastest way of accessing data -- there is some overhead. The price is not high, but as swap is 'extended RAM' you don't want that penalty, since you gain little or nothing. For additional (shorttime) swapspace needs you can always use a swapfile -- a bit slower (FS overhead) but it can live on any FS. But then Swap use should be tailored to your specific situation. A busy disk is a bad place for a swapfile, for example. -Wolfgang
