Hi!
I tried asking a question about swap the other day, but nobody seems to
answer...
So I try again:
There seems to be no swap configured for my fat clients, since it looks like

Hi all,
My ltsp-system works perfectly well until I add more clients to it.
Since buying extra memory is not very attractive (Senegal, not very
rich) it should be nice to specify an option to use either more the
memory in the server (1GB) or in the clients (128 MB).

Erwin,
It sounds like you need more ram, or swap configured on the server.
The settings in lts.conf are ONLY for the clients, not the server.
You could increase the amount of swap you have configured on the server,
but that usually means either increasing the size of your swap partition

Hi Erwin,
As long as you have enough RAM on the server, you don't need to worry with swap.
The hard question here is, how much RAM is enough? With LTSP, is
harder to say, as you need to multiply the expected comsumption of one
desktop user by the number of simultaneous users.
The swap space is

Well that was super simple. Sorry that I didnt see that page on the

My thin client is barely using ANY of its RAM though, which is
fantastic... Im pretty sure it was using more with the old version of

With 4.2 and NBD Swap, you set the swap parameters in etc/sysconfig/ltspswapd,
and NOT in lts.conf. So in lts.conf, you don't need the SWAPFILE_SIZE line
(but keep the USE_NBD_SWAP=Y line).

Thomas,
If you look at the old NFS-swap patch for the 2.4 kernel, you'll see
there is quite a bit of code that goes into making sure that the NFS
packets themselves don't get swapped out. That would be a bad thing,
considering we are trying to use NFS for the swap device.
I'm not sure that your
