On the contrary, it is a very good idea indeed to mirror the swap partiti= on if your aim is to make your machine resilient against disk failure. Losi= ng the swap will kill a machine just as dead as losing a filesystem. The performance of a mirrored root drive is a bit slower on write but general= ly faster on read -- it tends to pretty much even out in the end. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
