(Perhaps I should be posting this to comp.sys.next.)

Is it possible to swap on an NFS file with Mach on a NeXT machine
running 0.9? (I don't know what version of Mach it is.)

I did 

mkfile 1m foo.swap

on an NFS partition (on a 386i running SunOS 4.0.1, if it matters), and
then on the NeXT said

mach_swapon /pathname/foo.swap

and it came back with

mach_swapon: mach_swapon failed: Error 0

(An illuminating error message.)

Any clues?
