Hi, I had raid0 my swap partitions, but in my experience, it causes a kernel panic in case of failure of 1 disk. I assume crashing depends on what is using that swap space at the moment of failure. On the other hand, if swap is on raid1, crashing of 1 disk doesn't affect the correct functioning of the machine.
