Hi!
quoted
So please get the VM bits for swap over network blockdevices in first,
Trouble with that part is that we don't have any sane network block
devices atm, NBD is utter crap, and iSCSI is too complex to be called
sane.
Hey, NBD was designed to be _simple_. And I think it works okay in
that area.. so can you elaborate on "utter crap"? [Ok, performance is
not great.]

Plus, I'd suggest you to look at ata-over-ethernet. It is in tree
today, quite simple, but should have better performance than nbd.
