[linuxdc-dev] Swapping over network

[Oliver M . B. <ol...@de...>]

Hi!

I recently bought myself a full set of japanese Dreamcast, Broadband-Adapter
to aid in the development of Debian/SH. Using BOOTP and NFS-root I'm really
happy and am compiling one Debian package after another but due to the
limited memory on the system and no swap, the system starts really choking
on large native compiles (mostly C++).

What is everybody using for swap over network? I hear there are two
possibilities :

- swap over NFS   ( needs patch, patch isn't very new)
- swap over network block device ( patch seems to be included in recent kern.)

Can anybody share some expirence with these ?

Thanks!
