  Any plans to get rid of nfs+overlayfs for netboot?
No. NFS + aufs is a good combination and FAI is using it for several
years. But if you do like to do it without nfs+aufs read

It's working like a charm.

Hello

 I tested FAI 4.0 and dracut inside a wheezy nfsroot on a squeeze
 install server. This works fine. I can reproduce your errors on a
 wheezy install server. I will have a look into it. Maybe you can write
 a simple bug report for this.

Thank you for both hints. I will try it as soon as I have a bit of time!

Bugreport: Surely.
