You're trying to lower = performance of VM system? If swap is not mirrored, and this disk dies, the system will crash. If everything is mirrored, the system can be brought down for maintenance in a regularly scheduled window rather than crashing immediately. Even better is if the disks are hot swappable, the system never needs to go down at all wi= th a disk failure. --=20 jeff@jeffenstein.org http://www.jeffenstein.org/ It's the opinion of some that crops could be grown on the moon.
