We were building a large networking switch with blades, and the IO cards didn't have anywhere near the resources that the control modules had (no persistent storage, small ram, etc). We were already doing userspace coredumps over NFS to the control cards. It would have been nice to swap as well. -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
