That's a neat approach, I do it just the opposite and care RAID1 partitions for swap (though I rarely swap as well). I've never had an issue restarting after a failure (or me doing something dumb like hitting the wrong button on the UPS) So that I'm understanding, you simply create a swap partition on each disk not part of an array, swapon both and let the kernel decide? -- David C.
