This toasted your /swp partition.
Raid 0 is striping, and a single failure toasts the entire device.
You would have been ahead with a non-raid swap, and had 3 separate
partitions, one on each device, for swap. Failure of one would not have

Yes, but losing swap will kill any processes that happened to be
using it. The results of continuing to run with unpredictable
things happening might be worse than crashing immediately.
