I have been trying the way diskless(8) says and a few permutations thereof, but so far without luck. I get the feeling that swapon don't know how to handle nfs swap. What I have tried was: 10.1.2.3:/export/myclient/swap none swap sw,nfsmntpt=/swap 10.1.2.3:/export/myclient/swap none swap sw 10.1.2.3:/export/myclient/swap none nfs sw But each time I get this message: swapon: 10.1.2.3:/export/myclient/swap: No such file or directory John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@icomtek.csir.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
