Re: Perhaps this has been answered before...

Based on this, I have upgraded the system to 2.4.19.  Since this is a
cluster, I will run this kernel on the secondary (and it seems to be
working fine so far), then I will push this to the primary after about
30-60 days of stable operation.  Thanks to all for the suggestions and
help.

    RAID in 2.2 is seriously broken unless the RAID patches are applied.
    
    With the patches, there are problems with stability in the case where
    you actually swap on the RAID device.
    
    With a recent 2.4 kernel, the swap stability problem should be gone. At
    least swapping on RAID-1 works for me as well, on several systems here.
    
    So just don't swap on RAID if you're on 2.2  :)   On 2.4 it should work.
