  Hi.

  I just tried to create a swapfile using the vnode driver.
If I create a file using dd and try to make the kernel swap to it, I get

bash# vnconfig -v /dev/vnd0c /data/ale/swapfile 
/dev/vnd0c: 1048576 bytes on /data/ale/swapfile
bash# swapon /dev/vnd0c
swapon: /dev/vnd0c: device not configured

  Leading me to suppose that we just don't have the vnode driver 
configured in kernel 4626, however if I link the inst-12.fs file, I can 
mount it as a disk etc...

  So, Why can't I make a swapfile?  What device is it that isn't configured?

Ale.
