On the FreeBSD server spc:/tftpboot # cat cfg.130.102.180.11 rootfs 130.102.180.1:/export/c1 rootopts rsize=2048 swapfs 130.102.180.1:/export/swap swapopts rsize=2048 swapsize 25000 hostname c1.pc.elec.uq.edu.au spc:/export/swap # ll swap.130.102.180.11 4 -rw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 69632 Feb 6 16:30 swap.130.102.180.11 The swap file on the server seems to get initialized. On the diskless client c1:/etc > swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/?? 25000 0 24936 0% Interleaved Running something that requires swapping then causes a client reboot. Has anyone encountered this behaviour? Please let me know if you can suggest a possible cause. -- regards Dept. of Electrical Engineering, Clary Harridge University of Queensland, QLD, Australia, 4072 Phone: +61-7-3365-3636 Fax: +61-7-3365-4999 INTERNET: clary@elec.uq.edu.au
