Perhaps this is problem is removed - I never used swap on a=20 lvm, but I did on a software raid1. It would be perfect if that all would work, you built a system with=20 two cheap IDE-disks or scsi if you=B4re rich - than one can build a=20 small boot partition on both disks and with the rest of the disk one=20 can make a soft-raid1 with the lvm on top. I know I can do it, so I have root and swap and data on the raid,=20 accessible via the lvm. But would it work if mem is tight and the=20 system load is high or could I run into a deadlock ?
