Package: diskless
Version: 0.3.18.0.5
I installed the diskless package on a server and succeded to boot a
diskless client successfully;
I successfully managed to start my diskless client (through PXE and
recompiled kernel with appropriate options).The root file system is
mounted as expected by the client though NFS. On my server, I did not
chage the defaults proposed by both commands 'diskless-newimage' and
'diskless-newhost' at installation time:
- the root file system for myclient to NFS mount is :
/var/lib/diskless/default/root
- the customized '/etc' '/tmp' and '/var' directories for my diskless
client (with IP adress being 10.1.0.4) are stored in :
/var/lib/diskless/default/10.1.0.4
However, during the client boot, the cutomized directories (
/var/lib/diskless/default/10.1.0.4/etc,
/var/lib/diskless/default/10.1.0.4/var and
/var/lib/diskless/default/10.1.0.4/tmp are not mounted as /etc, /var,
/tmp). I believe they should.
I realize this is due to the fact that I boot I mount the NFS root file
system with read-write option. I do this through my SYSLINUX/PXE boot
script (otpion 'rw' of append insctruction in the PXE file below :
default diskless
label diskless
kernel bzImage
append rw root=/dev/nfs
nfsroot=10.1.0.3:/var/lib/diskless/default/root ip=dhcp
label local
localboot 0
When I mount the NFS root file system read-only, then the customized
directories are mounted for my diskless client as expected.
I do not see where this kind of logic is implemented. I believe the
customized directories should be mounted even if the root file system is
mounted read-write.
