RAID1 for swap? What use would that be? With hot swappable disks perheaps? 
RAID0 would be faster and reliability is not an issue - if one disk dies, 
loss of swapped RAM is not the real issue. Better yet is setting up two swap 
partitions with same size (one on each disk) and giving them the same 
priority - this is the same as RAID0, only there is one software layer less 
involved, thus faster/ less CPU intensive.
