I see a relatively blank diskless booting wiki page at http://wiki.lustre.org/index.php?title=Diskless_Booting
Are there any details on this, other than "University of Colorado at Boulder has performed interesting work?" I have a couple of interests here.. 1) compare lustre netboot to AFS netboot 2) install Lustre MDS & ODS servers on Debian booted from AFS. 3) understand enough about Lustre to know if netbooting a Lustre server from a lustre filesystem is completely wacked, or not. FYI, I haven't tried it yet, but I'd be comfortable booting an AFS server from a replicated AFS read-only volume as the root filesystem.. I believe I understand the failure modes of AFS well enough that this would work. _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list Lustre-discuss@lists.lustre.org http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
