Hi all, I am a long time LTSP user (since 3.0). Now I am tring to integrate LTSP in a "universal boot server" that helps all workstations of the network to boot. This server provide LTSP, classical Diskless, local Windows AND "partimage diskless" (to restore the Windows (because Windows s... )) The user choose what he wants via a network enabled grub. So, my dhcp serveur has filename option set to "nbgrub" or pxegrub". But I can't set a root-path before I know what the user chose because my /etc/exports look like this :
#LTSP /var/lib/vservers/ubuntu/opt/ltsp/i386 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro,no_root_squash,async) /var/lib/vservers/ubuntu/var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,async) #Diskless /var/lib/vservers/ubuntu/opt/diskless/default/root/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,async) /var/lib/vservers/ubuntu/var/lib/diskless/default/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,async) #Diskless /var/lib/vservers/ubuntu/opt/diskless/partimage/root/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,async) /var/lib/vservers/ubuntu/var/lib/diskless/partimage/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,no_root_squash,async) So there is at least 3 different "root-path". The solution is to use the "nfsroot=" append option in grub like this : title LTSP 4.1 Terminal kernel (nd)/lts/2.6.9-ltsp-3/bzImage-2.6.9-ltsp-3 init=/linuxrc2 rw root=/dev/ram0 nfsroot=192.168.0.5:/var/lib/vservers/ubuntu/opt/ltsp/i386 initrd (nd)/lts/2.6.9-ltsp-3/initrd-2.6.9-ltsp-3.gz And using a modified linuxrc script, like the one I made for 4.1 ltsp (just swaped rootpath and nfsroot in the script and that works (tested)) But, (there is allways a but) I can't open the new inramfs.gz thing to add my linurc2 in LTSP 4.2. My idea is that we should modify the linuxrc script in all LTSP so that LTSP could work with classical rootpath AND nfsroot so LTSP will work better in networks where he is not alone. (This can also be usefull if you want to have ltsp 4.1 and 4.2 on the same server at the same time) I can provide this script if Jim is interested. If not, can someone help me to open that initramfs.gz thing ? Thanks reading my long an poor english message. If someone else has this kind of problems with LTSP please tell me. -- Julien ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
