Well, as many people suggested, my problem with using a swap file

from /tmp was indeed an exports problem. What happened was that I

already had /tmp exported, so when I added:

/tmp/swap/lisa -root=lisa,access=lisa

to the exports file and did exportfs, it didn't work (you can't

export a sub-dir of an already exported directory).

One way around that problem is to export /tmp with root access for

lisa enabled:

/tmp -root=lisa

You can't add -access=lisa because that seems to keep other machines

from mounting /tmp, and you have to enable root access for lisa.
