Swap Space Query?

DU Managers,
                     I have a couple of very quick questions to anyone who has had to specify swap sizes and their locations on their DU servers/workstations.....

1) Has anyone ever specify the use of RAID 0 or 0+1 sets for their swap space instead of just RAID 0 or JBODS?
2) Has anyone ever specified small partitions across a series of disks/RAID sets instead of reserving a large area on a single disk/RAID set?

There seems to be a couple of schools of thought on this one and I would like to have some real world examples and clarification as to how we should resolve this one??? Any problems that have been encountered by any of the methods above would be helpful to. Will summarise findings...


Many thanks from Scotland
