SWAP OPTIONS
When parsing the /etc/fstab file for swap devices, the following optio=
ns
are recognized:
priority=3DN This option sets the priority of the specified swap =
de-
vice to N. The highest priority is 0, second priority=
is
1, etc.
nfsmntpt=3D/path This option is useful for swapping to NFS files. It
specifies the local mount point to mount an NFS filesy=
s-
tem. Typically, once this mount has succeeded, the fi=
le
to be used for swapping on will be available under thi=
s
point mount. For example:
server:/export/swap/client none swap sw,nfsmntpt=3D/sw=
ap

Don't forget to create the mountpoint for the swap and the swapfile on
the server like this:=20
dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D/export/swap/client bs=3D102400 count=3D200
This creates a 20MB swapfile.
