We have moved away from nfs root. Instead we have a setup that requires a very minimum install on the slave nodes (under 10M on our test cluster), so we have it setup so that you can just use a ramdisk on the slave node and we copy over everything we need when the slave nodes boot. We also have things setup so that you can just setup the harddrive on the slave nodes and don't have to recreate the filesystem on every boot if you don't want to. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
