I wanted to know if I configure my three identical disks as followed:
- sda1 = /boot @ 4GB - sda2 = RAID @ 300GB
- sdb1 = Swap @ 4GB - sdb2 = RAID @ 300GB
- sdc1 = Swap @ 4GB - sdc2 = RAID @ 300GB
Now when I am done configuring RAID, will Arch Linux show I have 8GB of Swap space total under a tool like 'htop' or something like this? Will the above configuration work? Or Should I change it?
Yes, I tink it would work and you would get 8GB of swap. You are aware that if sda breaks, you loose the /boot partition and you can't boot anymore ? I would suggest creating a 100MB /boot partition on all 3 disks as a RAID 1 (4GB for boot is over kill IMHO). That way you can loose any disk and still be able to boot.
