NEVER EVER use raid0 for swap if you want reliability. If one drive fails the
virtual memory gets corrupted and the machine will crash horribly (tm).
Besides creating sepearte swap partitions on different physical discs will
give you the same kind of performance, so using striping on a swap parition
is kind useless for gaining performance.
I suggest using raid-1 or raid-6 for swap, so the machine can stay up if one
drive fails.
