If you have odd sized partitions for Btrfs raid0, it won't get mad at you. It just won't use the extra space on the drive without a swap partition. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/setting_up_swap.html If that's current, you can have a swap on each drive, same size, with the same priority number, and the kernel will use both kinda like raid0. And in this case, you can have pretty much identically sized swap partitions on the two drives. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
