I was not able to make swap a raid partition
Why would you want to do that? I generally create my partitions like this:
disk 1 swap 1024mb /boot 128mb / raid partition (all remaining space)
disk 2 swap 1024mb /backupboot 128mb / raid partition (all remaining space)
Then I either create a RAID 1 or RAID 0 (and sometimes even RAID 5) on the raid partitions depending on the level of redundancy/speed I want or need. This can all be done easily with disk druid during setup of CentOS 4.
Won't such a machine crash when one of the drives containing swapped-out data dies?
