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. -- Andreas Micklei IVISTAR Kommunikationssysteme AG Ehrenbergstr. 19 / 10245 Berlin, Germany http://www.ivistar.de Handelsregister: Berlin Charlottenburg HRB 75173 Umsatzsteuer-ID: DE207795030 Vorstand: Dr.-Ing.
