If you've been following the situation, we have many diskless nodes
that swap over NFS.  We're using a patch (kindly provided to us) that
allows swapon to specify a string to mount NFS swap after boot.  I've
been told (and it looks like) that it calls the same set of functions
that the nfs swap option in the kernel would glean from DHCP, were we
using that route.

That's the background.

Now, if I configure a swap-backed md disk (another patch we received)
on the system and use it heavily with a particular application I get a 
locking panic from process id 4 (bufdaemon).

panic: lockmgr pid 4 not exclusive lock holder unlocking 520

Any ideas?

Dave.
