} } -- I know there was a lot of discussion on the list a while back about } whether or not to mirror SWAP space. Was there ever any conclusion? It } seems to me that mirroring will ensure that if one drive fails, you } don't lose information in virtual memory. My applications rarely if } every use virtual memory anyway so I'm not worried about speed. I want } the ultimate in stabilty for the OS drive. Otherwise, I guess I would } designate swap space on just one drive (but prepare identical partitions } on each for swap). If the first drive failed (/dev/sda -- with the swap } space), /dev/sdb would become the new /dev/sda anyway. And so fstab } would be correct in pointing to /dev/sda. You should mirror swap space! Otherwise you will have an outage if a disk fails. Most places would not accept an outage for a simple disk failure. IMO.
