Without any redundancy. What is the point of setting up RAID1 for all
the rest and see your system crash pitifully when a drive fails because
half of the swap suddenly becomes unreachable ?
Why would it crash? Firstly, the system shouldn't be swapping. MOST
systems, under MOST workloads, don't need swap.
And secondly, the *system* should not be using swap. User space, yes. So
a bunch of running stuff might crash. But the system should stay up.
Raid is meant to protect your data. The benefit for raiding your swap is
much less, and *should* be negligible.
