Hi

Last time I checked swapping over nbd required patching the network stack.
Because swapping occurs when memory is low and when memory is low TCP
doesn't do what you expect it to do...

Its a case of having sufficient memory in the atomic pools. Its possible to
do some ugly quick kernel hack to make the pool commit less likely to be a 
problem.

Ultimately its an insoluble problem, neither SunOS, Solaris or NetBSD are
infallible, they just never fail for any normal situation, and thats good
enough for me as a solution

Oops,  really? And if I can DoS such machine with ping -f (to eat atomic
ram)? And what are you going to tel your users? "It died so reboot"?
