tags 367606 pending thanks so, i think i have a working method to automatically create nbd swapfiles on demand. it turned out to be much simpler than i thought. :)
stick this in /usr/sbin/nbdswapd: #!/bin/sh SIZE=32 tmp=$(tempfile) dd if=/dev/zero of=$tmp bs=1024k count=$SIZE 2> /dev/null /bin/nbd-server 0 $tmp rm -f $tmp and then run: update-inetd --group LTSP --add "9572 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/nbdswapd" add to /opt/ltsp/ARCH/etc/lts.conf: NBD_PORT=9572 SWAP_SERVER=ip.of.swap.server and you should be ready to go. it creates swap files as needed, and deletes them when the client disconnects. note that it will use considerable space in /tmp, 32MB for each connected client- though adjust to your tasts. another nice feature is that a client could connect multiple times if it needed more swap. i'm not sure weather we should enable it by default(as it's a security risk to pass swap data over the network), but i will definitely include the above code in the next release and make it simple to enable. might include features to encrypt swap in the next release, too :) live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
