I've been looking at using nbd for swapping, but i've just not had the

I've been trying to get this working, I've a load of thin clients
that crash and I'm out of ideas why, I've noticed that nfs keeps
dropping off for no reason on our network, So I thought nbd might be
more stable especally for swap.
I've been trying to get it working between two servers first. But
the notes on the internet seam slighly terriable.
mkswap /dev/nbd/0
works fine which most of the comments say it should not. however
swapon /dev/nbd/0
says "swapon: /dev/nbd/0: Invalid argument"
Any ideas?

In answer to my own question, when creating the file with dd the bs
must be specified to be a good value. |bs=1048576 works quite nicely.
I'm going to try with a thin client tomarrow at work, I'll report back
with my success and maybe a howto once its working.
