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??? hawk -- Prof. Richard E.
