RE: off topic - scsi partitions & swap & raid
Let me get this straight...
Are you going to RAID two partitions on the same physical drive?
Seems kinda absurd, RAID accomplishes one (or more) of two things:
Fault-tolerance from hardware failure.
Improve read/write performance, by spanning multiple physical disks.
By mirroring, striping, etc. two partitions on the same physical
disk you are wasting your time. Unless it is purely for practice.
