Torsten, I didn't develop the nfs-swap patch. There's a guy in Germany. Claus Justin-Heine (I think). He maintained it up until around 2.4.9. I've been porting it forward to newer 2.4.x series kernels.
Porting it from one 2.4.x rlease to another hasn't been very hard. Mostly running patch, and the handful of patches that don't apply cleanly I can figure out that a few lines of kernel code have changed, causing the patch to not find where it needs to go. I've tried to port it to the 2.6.9 kernel, but unfortunately, i'm not a kernel hacker and too many things have changed within the kernel for me to figure out how to modify the patch to work. I tried contacting Claus, but i've not received any replies from him. I've been looking at using nbd for swapping, but i've just not had the time to do it.
