[ale] that same darn NFS problem SOLVED

[James P. Kinney III]

I've seen another report suggesting a stripped drive arrangment for swap
space that I can't locate the link for. It can make a HUGE speed
improvement on a fast bus system with not so fast drives. The big gotcha
is if the raid chokes, the box crashes hard as the swap gets corrupted.
