I'm particularly interested in what people are using for diskless nodes and managing upgrades of system images across the cluster. I'm envisioning a system where I have a build environment in which I can upgrade system software and test functionality on a development machine and then take a snapshot of the system and copy that up to a NAS device so that the nodes can then boot it. It would be even better if I could specify which packages I wanted (or rather, didn't want) on the system images so that I could avoid having un-necessary and potentially attacker-friendly packages such as gcc and portage on the cluster nodes. -- gentoo-cluster@gentoo.org mailing list
