Hi,

I've been trying to get managing software the RAID 1 down. I've yet to
figure out how to determine if swap is actually using the RAID or what. I
have noted comments on bootup saying at times that the swap is not mounting
such and such or that is has apparently failed to start up at all. And
when it does mount, I've yet to see noted what device it actually is
mounting.

Any response with wisdom on digging up the details in the sytem of swap's
actual state, or that notes where to find such info, will be greatly
ppreciated.

swapon -s

and

cat /proc/swaps

That will give you a listing of mounted swap devices and how much are currently used.
