I just implemented a diskless client, and of course am interested to see Swapping Via NFS a permanent part of the Linux Kernel. I use 2.0.32 swap via NFS patch on a 2.0.33 kernel that has MCA patches, and everything seems to work ok. However, testing is not being performed greatly from my end, so it seems to me this is the perfect sort of thing to put into the 2.1 kernel set.
The main URL for the person who made the patches that work for me are:
http://www-math.math.rwth-aachen.de/~LBFM/claus/nfs-swap/
The patch I'm using:
http://www-math.math.rwth-aachen.de/~LBFM/claus/nfs-swap/linux- 2.0.32-nfs-swap.diff.gz
The latest 2.1 patch referenced in the same list:
http://www-math.math.rwth-aachen.de/~LBFM/claus/nfs-swap/linux- 2.1.66-nfs-swap.diff.gz
If it gets into 2.1 now, then perhaps it has a chance to stick into 2.2 for good. I did an "egrep -i swap linux/Documentation/Configure.help" and found no references to the above patches. If functionality for swapping via NFS and other filesystems (it would be nice if it worked universally for all filesystems) is already included into the current kernel, then please excuse my mention of it here.
