Hello and thanks in advance.

I have a Sun box with raid 1 on the O/S disks using solaris svm.
I want to unmirror my swap partition, and add the slice on the second disk as an additional swap device. This would give me twice as much swap space.

I have been warned not to do this by some peers.

I have set it up in test and pulled out the primary drive and the system kept runnnig and i was able to boot off one disk just like if i had mirrored it.

Can anyone give me a good reason to mirror swap??
