After 3-5k of used swap on md0, the box dies and reboots. If I run "swapon" directly on the NFS file, things work fine, but it did mean that I couldn't use the default "addswap" rc script to set up the swap on my diskless system. I'm not sure whether it's supposed to work or not, but I haven't had time to look into it yet. Just thought it might be another datapoint for someone in the know to consider, just in case it is related. Cheers, /Johny -- Johny Mattsson - Making IT work ,-. ,-. ,-.
