I am doing a fresh install of fc2, and I am tr to configure the partitions using raid1. I think I got it done, but do I need have the swap partition on a raid (/dev/md3)?
My current setup is on two 250GB SATA:
Raid Devices
/dev/md0 /boot ext3 102
/dev/md1 /home ext3 229028
/dev/md2 / ext3 10236

what do you suggest?

NO

If you want to use 250MB swap disk space, create one 125MB swap file system on both disks. There is no need to run raid on swap file system. If any one of the disks fail, the Linux will run with 125MB swap.
