He claims that the system will not go down when it runs out of memory. That simply isn't true. >> Always use redundancy (like RAID) also for swap because you don't want >> your system to go down when a disk fails. > > From what I know of, the failing of a swap only kills apps that > reside on it; and the 'like RAID' is already included into swaps > (same priority of 2 or more swaps ~ RAID0). You think the system won't go down when memory contents are corrupted or unobtainable? I suppose you might be lucky in some cases and not in others. Mounting swap partitions with the same priority does not provide redundancy. -- Knowledge is volatile and fluid.
