#4 Re: Migrating To RAID1 Mirror on Sarge Posted by Anonymous (207.34.xx.xx) on Fri 9 Sep 2005 at 22:10 I've been running swap on raid1 (mirrored) for a long time. I agree 100% with the poster -- why have raid, if you virtually guaranteeing that your machine will crash, or be substantially degraded in the case of the hard drive failure? The nice thing about raid1 is that you get virtually 100% write throughput, and virtually 200% read throutput; data is read from both platters simultaneously. So, in addition to the extra security of knowing that your swap won't get corrupted in a failure, you get double the "swap in" performance, and almost no additional "swap out" cost!
