Thanks for your work, I'd be happy to help test things ... Stefan<br></blockquote></div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">Yes, I'd be interested in that too. Over the years I've tried reading various instructions, but perhaps because I lack some particular experience, never could figure out how that should work (particularly in my Gentoo context). My stand-alone frontends right now are all Atom/ION machines with laptop drives, but it would sure be nice to only have to maintain one NFS root tree. (Of course, I have the complication that the hosting master backend is not an Atom, thankfully, so I'd have to maintain a distinct NFS root directory, but only once.) <br>

<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I have 3 diskless machines using NFS/PXE boot on gentoo. I pretty much followed the directions here: <a href="https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Diskless_nodes">https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Diskless_nodes</a> . The directions are long but are very thorough. My master backend is the NFS host which has BTRFS as it's main filesystem. Using BTRFS snapshots makes it very easy to backup the diskless nodes which are just directories on the MBE.<br>
<br>Hope this helps <br><br></div></div>
