Subjectproblems with swapfiles under 2.0.x
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

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?
