[K12OSN] School K12Linux clients not able to complete boot after 50+ or so clients are up

[Daniel Howard]

Further to: I found some bugs reported in early versions of Ubuntu LTSP 
that referred to "swap causes connection loss" when using swap over NBD 
and squashfs.  Could this apply here?  What could we change to 
experiment with it? 

The Ubuntu bug was apparently fixed by noting that "the reason is that 
the SWAP nbd is using /dev/nbd0. So is the currently mounted /rofs which 
is a component of the / unionfs.  The fix is to change the file to use 
/dev/nbd1." [R1]

Best, Daniel
