Package: nbd-server Version: 2.7.3-1 Severity: normal I have a setup with lessdisks clients set up as workstations for debian-edu. We uses normal debian-kernels (2.4.27-2-386 on the clients and 2.4.27-2-686-smp no the server). The clients all have about 256 MB memory, en this is enough in most tasks. However - the users low to play with big files in OpenOffice - and they are all saved as MSOffice fileformat. One typical example is a powerpoint presentation with some photos. The presentations typically are >> 20MB, the biggest We've foudn is 102MB (!!)
ok - let set up swap over nbd. I Tested this on a small basis first manually set up 2 clients and 2 swapfiles, and the swapfiles got their name as /var/lib/lessdisks/swap/swapfile.<IP> the first client connected fine, and now the users were able to open their nice litte (?) presentations. OK lets try to automate this then. I enabled the setup using /etc/nbd-server on the server, and /etc/nbd-client on the client. I rebooted the next server, and everything went well. Then I tried to reboot 9 other clients. They all seemed to end up in a deadlock. I had to have someone reboot them after I moved the /etc/nbd-client away. I also tried to set up nbd-server using inetd, but then nothing happened. Not really sure why. So my questions is then maybe more like: - It should be possible to use multiple clients against one server, shouldn't it ? - It should be possible to use inetd to server the clients ? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-x300 Locale: LANG=nb_NO, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages nbd-server depends on: ii debconf 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
