Hi beowulf ml !

Do you know if it is currently possible to have diskless nodes
having their swap over the network ?

The goal is not to use the swap but to remove the disks from the 
computationnal nodes to have a better MTBF. I mean we don't 
want to swap at any time during our computation but we don't
 want to loose a job if linux starts swapping.

How can I do swap with the network ?

Can NFS do this ?
Are there better solutions ?

I have searched through the beowulf archive but I have not found 
anything except old posts (1998)

Thanks for any help
