I am trying to create a swap file on a Samba mounted file system and use it as swap space. (Believe me, I do know the performance implications of such a swap scheme). I am having trouble getting this to work. Does anyone know if this is possible? I mount the Samba share, say /scratch, then dd if=/dev/zero of=/scratch/swap bs=1024 count=65536 mkswap /scratch/swap 65536 sync swapon /scratch/swap The last command fails and returns invalid argument. Does anyone know any limitations in swapping over samba? Thanks Darryl __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE Valentine eCards with Yahoo!
