hi guys, should i use raid1 with swap partitions? why?
what's the advantages and disvantages?

In parallel to Doug's comments. A few years ago, I spent literally 
*days* trying to figure out why random processes were dying on one of my 
servers. It turned out there was a bad block in the swap partition (this 
was pre-SMART). Ever since then, if I've used swap on a machine that was 
important enough, I used RAID-1.
