Hello,
I am converting an Ubuntu 9.10 to NFS boot by coping files to the NFS
root.
My question is:
Would it be better to create a local hard drive swap and file system for
certain root dir?
Should Tmp be local rather than on the NFS root?
I'm no expert on the subject, but I'm interested in the answer too.
I'm thinking it may depend on your reason for wanting to boot from NFS.
One big reason for network booting is for diskless workstations, but
it seems you plan to keep the existing drive(s) in that machine?
In that case I would choose to make the NFS boot fs read-only and put
any writeable fs on the local disk -- but again that would depend on
your reasons for making the change in the first place.
But I await more informed opions than mine.
