I'm planning to setup 4 drives in a raid10 configuration, but putting separate swap partitions on each (no raid), and letting the kernel do something similar to raid0. When/if one of the drive fails and it has swap data on it:
- The kernel may panic.
- Any data stored in the memory of currently-running processes may be lost.
So far this seems like an acceptable failure case. Is there any other bad things that may happen that I haven't considered?
