thank you very much. i solved that problem other way, finally ending in NFS root.

but i still need raw block device as swap device, which will (rarely) be in active use.

What do you recommend - iscsi or geom_gate.

the latter is 100 times more simple, and i like simple solutions.

but geom_gate use userland process for I/O. Does it make a risk of deadlock?

is iscsi deadlock free too? i mean iscsi in kernel needs to allocate memory to perform swapout, but it have to wait for free memory, but memory will not be freed until swapout is done.
