Re: How can I test that NBD Swap is working?

When the client's boot using LTSP it uses the RAM OF THE
SERVER, so the
ram on the client won't have any effect unless it is the
video ram,
which is more than likely not it, because webpages don't
wouldn't even
use 2mb of vram. So is there any other kids using the server
when the
freezes, then the server may be running out of ram, goto
System >
Administration > System Monitor & go to the webpage
another time & see
if the ram usage goes up, or if swap usage goes up.

        I don't think that nbdswap is working right.  When
the client
        boots it creates a file in
        /tmp on the server with the correct swap size. 
However if I
        load a graphic intense
        website that uses up available RAM and the client
freezes, it
        freezes at the same point
        whether swap is set to 32MB or 128MB.  This leads me
to believe
        it is not taking
        advantage of the swap space.  This is running
Edubuntu 7.04, I
        have "NBD_SWAP=True" in
        "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf" and have
created a
        "/etc/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf" file which
        contains the line "SIZE=128".
