I'm not sure what other options you have; it's important that people
understand when configuring disks, to make swap equal to (or larger
than) the amount of memory you have, AND make sure /var is larger than
the total amount of memory you have.

Shot in the dark, but the behaviour sounds similar to what I was seeing
when using Intel MatrixRAID in a RAID-1 array with 2 disks.  See here:
