Why not just let the kernel handle
the stripping for you, IMO using
dmraid is overkill for swap when it can all be handled by
the kernel
itself with 'swap -p1 /dev/sda1' for example.
[...]

Could you please tell where to read up on that, URL or man page.  I do not know where to apply your suggestion, nor the meaning of the '-p1' option.

I should have said the original problem was associated with hibernation.  (I also have 2 other desk tops that don't use RAID for swap.)

For now, I'll leave the swap as is - but, I will rethink how I implement swap when I upgrade to Fedora 15.
