yes and no.... it'll balance them for use in general with equal
prioirty but if the swap is not mirrored and a disk dies with some
swap being assigned to a process having it's memory mapped to the
swap... that process will then crash/fault just as if it had
encountered bad memory or you had pulled a DIMM out...

Think of it like raid 0 or raid 1 for swap ....
