I would be happy to provide some technical abilities to build/maintain a client package with the needed modules for this. I'm looking at how to use the kernel src.rpm or devel.rpm and create the needed binaries as part of a package upgrade cycle automatically. It may be easier than I thought to provide a kmod-nbd.rpm <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 12:26 PM, Dan Young <<a href="mailto:dyoung@mesd.k12.or.us">dyoung@mesd.k12.or.us</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> In terms of supporting existing client hardware bases, I think the remote swap support may be important. I've seen plenty of terminals run out of RAM due to big pixmaps in Firefox. This rather unpleasant with no swap. Any other options for remote swap? iSCSI? I understand NBD via a kernel rebuild for the clients is an ongoing maintenance burden... Any chance we could persuade someone to do an ELRepo.org NBD package? I have only a vague notion of what's involved with that.
