Creating a Swap Partition in Software RAID Mode

The EnGarde Installer allows the selection of multiple swap partitions during a Software RAID installation. These swap partitions are assigned the same priority so that the system will access all the partitions at the same time to read and write its data. This greatly increases swap performance.

After creating the first Software RAID partition the RAID selection screen will change.

In place of the No RAID option will be Swap. Select the Swap option to start the process of creating swap partitions.
