Hi,

You can on 2.4.  2.2 would let you do it but it was unsafe --- swap
could interact badly with raid reconstruction.  2.4 should be OK.

The swap code bypasses filesystem writes: all it does is to ask the
filesystem where on disk the data resides, then it performs IO
straight to those disk blocks.  The data journaling mode doesn't
really matter there.
