Creating a swap partition on a software RAID device isn't ideal. It is
better to create a swap partition on each of the physical devices and
give them the same priority (in /etc/fstab). That's only one example,
you could also use a disk that isn't part of the RAID and have only
one swap partition ...
BTW, wouldn't you rather create a partitionable RAID from the whole
disks and then partition that? If not, why not? (Letting aside where
to put the swap partition ...)
