On Monday, January 31st (TOMORROW) at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear
Eli Billauer talk about
Root on NFS: Running Linux on a diskless computer
Abstract
A motherboard, a CPU, and a memory stick. Add a fan and a power supply,
and you have a little computer which boots from network and keeps all
its data on a hosting computer's disk through NFS. The shopping list for
new components goes as low as 600 NIS, which makes this an attractive
solution in cases where a dedicated computer is useful, be it for
mission-critical applications, cases where the hardware may be damaged
or stolen, or because the OS is bound to crash often (kernel hacking).
This lecture is a walktrough of my own recent experience of setting up a
diskless computer, using cobbler for coordinating the PXE boot. It will
involve the gory technical details as well as my own insights after
making a fullblown Linux system run without any local storage.
