This suggestion has always bothered me. Yes, if all you care about performance, setting up swap this way works fine. However, for every drive you add you increase the likelyhood that you're system will fail due to a drive failure (what happens when one of the swap slices suddenly dissapears?). The better (IMO) suggestion is to use MD to setup RAID-1 mirrors and then swapadd those. That way, if one of your drives go south, you still have a workable swap. - -- - -rupa -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.6, an Emacs/PGP interface iQEVAwUBPHRCF3HDM4ucEopdAQHojAf/TbnHkeXcK6KwF+wQKOug8FcqJoNsZB8s 6XmCvL2V9QIdEMguXEob4qys/h2Km008xfXXvzIW+g8eXl/8zhoQAtQxRgBpJWZj Xa7XdzHUW2tEGTwztr5w/FJKFtL5nqqme6aYcILpbD2RFosgCSI8rm26QcgvSbXv /L6xmKx7ha5tD1QuMrh9/dVf5ei//c4BPiLeLSItmPaybm6DCL9NIYADQK+8WtLh WUDKycmjd+KTzFPiEH9Wmca+pbqE9XTEfmbsDRrTUSA9Fyeg3Y/t5KG4E1eI4HfS HtJvbtyYEY2uUAgiSPMcicbtxaOnyrJBoHGdBjmX6WK13lHQhoeQpA== =X3cg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
