We're about to set up a server with 2G of ram and a 5 disk striped RAID 
array with a hot standby.  I've started wondering about the swap, 
though:  if the array appears as a single disk to the os, wouldn't the 
swap partition be striped as well?  does this make sense?  Also, will 
this survive failover?  

Theres's also the question of whether or not swap even makes sense with 
2G of ram--won't it already be done for if it hits that???
