My understanding is the ENBD is some enhancements to work with removable media. And, i'm pretty sure that ENBD isn't in the stock kernel. I'm ONLY interested in a solution that doesn't require modifying the server kernel. Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Mon, 14 Mar 2005, Dan Stromberg wrote

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, an
