David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)I just remembered a time we ran out of memory on a very slow machine that had no hard disk and discovered that you could use a file on NFS as a swap device (it worked, and we were able to complete the thing we needed to do, but it was very slow), but now I’m wondering if anyone is doing swap over iSCSI.
mxey@david_chisnall we run VMs with their whole disk over iSCSI, so that includes swap.
Having a separate local disk for swap would really complicate live migrations.
