Ashish, If you are using 4.2, NFS Swap will _not_ work. LTSP 4.2 uses NBD and the ltspswap daemon, a totally different system. The USE_NFS_SWAP and SWAPFILE_SIZE in your lts.conf will _not_ enable swap in 4.2, so you can remove those lines.
Very roughly, to enable swap in 4.2, you have to: 1) On the server, install ltspswapd, found in the localdev support package, 2) Configure ltspswapd, modify /etc/sysconfig/ltspswapd, 3) Add USE_NBD_SWAP=Y to lts.conf, and 4) Reboot the terminal There are more detailed instructions found at http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/SwapNbd#Configuring_Swap_over_NBD_in_LTS John On Thu, 2006-11-02 at 11:38 +0530, Ashish Nabira wrote: > Hi; > > Sorry for less details. > > I am using ltsp 4.2 on SUSE 10.1.My clients are having PXE bootrom. > Actually the clients with 32MB ram works fine, with/without enabling > SWAP.
