I don't know the answer to your question - but I know a question you
might want to ask yourself - why am I doing this?

Two choice quotes:

1. There's no reason to use RAID for swap performance reasons.

2. There has been a lot of discussion about whether swap was stable on
RAID devices. This is a continuing debate, because it depends highly
on other aspects of the kernel as well.
