Only if you want each directory RAIDed. DO NOT mirror swap. Bad idea.
You want to mirror swap. If a drive fails your swap immediately goes offline. If an application had memory in swap it is now lost.
<snip> Mmmm... but if a drive goes down, then swap could quite easily be in an undefined state, part-way through the mirroring.
