By the way one thing I do like about the local binding directories approach is you only have one nfs export for the diskless system. You do not have to have any additional mounts from the same system/server. You might have to define additional exports as mentioned before, to address problems, but you don't mount them.
Check out a diskless /etc/fstab dev ~ # cat /ws/common/etc/fstab none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/sr0 /mnt/dvdrw udf,iso9660 noauto,user 0 0 /dev/sr1 /mnt/dvdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0 Nice and tiny, and shared for all! No media/dvd/cd/rom/rw/etc can be even smaller :) Though if your pulling stuff from different NFS servers then of course you will have additional mounts. But if all from a core RAID'd file server that might be redundant, etc. Then your likely pulling from one and can fly with the above. Less is more! -- William L.
