Swap over NFS was merged for the Linux 3.6 kernel after a a fair number of revisions of the patch series called "Swap-over-NFS without deadlocking", and looking at git once it was in there were further fixups over the next year or so to fix up corner cases that could go nasty. I *think* this was the last one posted before it was merged and has a history of changes and description of what the patches do. https://lwn.net/Articles/506527/ You can also do swap over NBD, that also needed a lot of careful work to make it function without deadlocking, the patch in the mainline that introduces the series is here (also mid 2012): http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=072bb0aa5e062902968c5c1007bba332c7820cf4 All the best, Chris -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator VLSCI - Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative Email: [email protected] Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 http://www.vlsci.org.au/ http://twitter.com/vlsci _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
