I agree.  If swap space is in use and the disk holding it dies isn't
it true that the system would no longer have access to some of the
data which should be returned to memory at some point?  The risk of
this occurring is greatly reduced with swap on mirrored disks.  If I'm
wrong I'd like to know it and why because I too have fully mirrored
boot disks that include '/' and swap.
