A lot. Some years ago I could install about 20 machines simultaneously
when using fast ethernet without any problems. NFS is not a problem,

Using a squeeze install server and FAI 3.4.8 I get these NFS
parameters from cat /proc/mounts

Well,
in my not quite so 10GbE env I experience NFS timeouts when doing 16
machines at a time.
Moving the fai configspace onto ramdisk helps for the rooms equipped with
1Gbps,
yields _lots_ of 'NFS not responding, still trying' for one forgotten room
which has still has 100Mbit
Hence my orig
Sounds to me like you have a network issue, NFS timeouts shouldn't occur
unless there are lost packets -- if the disk is stuck in I/O wait the NFS
process can still respond. Check your interfaces and switches for
dropped/errored packets. You should be able to host hundreds of clients
off a 1G, it

Color yourself surprised then. You forgot the base-images which easily
amount to more then 100 MB each. (I've found them quite useful for
installing SuSE-hosts with FAI although you might also use them to '

you mean where you have files and directories like

Hi,
The first (and seemingly correct) approach is to use fcopy, without mixing
yet another protocol into the mix. FTP/HTTP/NFS seem to me of 'the same
class' and fcopy was (I admit) the easiest to setup by copying the ready
made skeletons-> I tried it for the first approach, as an ultimate step
