RAID swap partition.

[tanis]

i installed FC4 test 3 just now and made 3 software RAID drives my swap partition.
i was wondering is this a good idea??? cuz they are all on the same disk.
would it speed up my swap file.
is there any way to check the swap partitions speed.
i know of memory test that you can run before the installation.

If all three RAID partitions are on the same disk then you will not get any benefit at all. RAIDing swap is mostly pointless anyway since the kernel is capable of using multiple swap partitions.

really.
oh crap.
i though it would help.
what if i put the raid partitions on different disks.
