As BSD accesses it's swap partitions round-robin like there should
not be any improvement in putting it on a striped volume.
The only reason for putting swap on a vinum disk would be
for fault tolerance (raid5) but that makes it rather slow in swapping
out.
So what does one get from putting swap onto vinum drives?

Karl
BTW: Is swapping to vinum supported?
