hello all, I have the following scenario of using zfs. - I have a HDD images that has a NTFS partition stored in a zfs dataset in a file called images.img - I have X physical machines that boot from my server via iSCSI from such an image - Every time a machine ask for a boot request from my server a clone of the zfs dataset is created and the machine is given the clone to boot from
I want to make an optimization to my framework that involves using a ramdisk pool to store the initial hdd images and the clones of the image being stored on a disk based pool. I tried to do this using zfs, but it wouldn't let me do cross pool clones. If someone has any idea on how to proceed in doing this, please let me know. It is not necessary to do this exactly as I proposed, but it has to be something in this direction, a ramdisk backed initial image and more disk backed clones. thank you, Mihai
