I put swap onto non-RAID, separate partitions on all 4 disks. In a production server, however, I'd use swap on RAID in order to prevent server downtime if a disk fails -- a suddenly bad swap can easily (will absolutely?) cause the server to crash (even though you can boot the server up again afterwards on the surviving swap partitions). -- Moshe Yudkowsky * moshe@pobox.com * www.pobox.com/~moshe "She will have fun who knows when to work and when not to work." -- Segami
