[Nottingham] swap on md raid?

[Martin]

Folks,

Anyone know if it is still a bad idea to put your swap partition on a 
linux md raid device (partition)?

I remember reading of a corner case whereby the kernel can be forced 
into panic if the md raid requires a swap operation when the kernel is 
needing to service a pending swap operation... Is that still the case?

How are you supposed to protect the swap from a disk death? Or is your 
system always doomed if you're using swap?

Cheers,
Martin
