The short answer is I still require something which makes the union mount very early. The long answer is I don't know if it is feasible to do the union mount on the fstab or if the initramfs is the only option. The idea doesn't seem to be so bad, but I find terrible dificul to debug the result when in that ecuation you have nfs4 and upstart. So I don't exactly know what is going on before my nodes get freezed... I'll need to make more tests, and debug a little more. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
