Los Alamos National Lab's security team has been asked to integrate LTSP version 5 into RHEL 4 and 5 to support their high security environments, and have been taking a look at how things are done in the stateless project for any clues that might help them out.
While perusing the stateless linux stuff over at Fedora they noted a command to setup an initrd for diskless boot with NFS root: $> mkinitrd --with=XXX --rootopts=ro,nolock --net-dev=eth0 --rootdev=myserver:/export/NFSroots/FC6 --rootfs=nfs initrd-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.img 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 For their purposes, they need to dynamically determine the root device at boot time. This would be passed using the DHCP "option root-path" directive. The --rootdev, --rootopts, and --rootfs are not documented in the man page for mkinitrd. Is there any way do what they need to do? If so, how? Or (better yet) what other information from the lab would help? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Stateless-list mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/stateless-list
