RE: [SSI-users] diskless nodes

[Walker, B. J <bru...@hp...>]

Brian and Briant,

Some work has been done to support swap to remote files (over CFS), to
handle the case that you do run out of memory (you want to try not to
because remote swap to file wouldn't perform real well).   Not sure
if/when this work will be finished but support for diskless is of
interest.
