Help,
I have our EBSA booting over NFS. I'd like to get a swap file/device set up.
I've got some instructions on diskless clients which tells me to do the
following in the top level of the NFS mount
# dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=16384
# mkswap swapfile
This successfully creates a swapfile.
then in the /etc/fstab of the EBSA I added the line
/swapfile swap swap defaults 0
0
When we boot the EBSA we always get a 'bad swap file' error message. ( I
have even tried adding the dd and mkswap instructions to the rc.sysinit of
the EBSA but that didn't work either )
If we cannot get this to work I was thinking about using a ramdisk as the
swapdisk. Don't know if this will work or not but I'm willing to give it a
try.
Does anyone have any ideas ??
Thanks
Iain
