Hello all,
I am running into a problem with swap files under Linux 2.0.36. If I run mkswap swapfile and swapon swapfile it works fine. However, if swapfile is on an nfs mounted directory, the swapon(2) call fails with "Invalid argument." It is necessary for me to use a swap file on a remote system over the network. Why isn't this possible over an nfs mount? It should just see it as a regular file and accept it. Any ideas of how I could get around this one?
