Had you ever thought of asking this on an Ubuntu list rather than a Gentoo one? [K. Mike Bradley] Sorry Ubuntu server Gentoo client My question is what parts if the FSH should be local on the Gentoo client.

Hello, I am converting an Ubuntu 9.10 to NFS boot by coping files to the NFS root. My question is: Would it be better to create a local hard drive swap and file system for certain root dir? Should Tmp be local rather than on the NFS root? Any suggestions on what to keep local would help.

Would it be better to create a local hard drive swap and file system for certain root dir? Have writable files on local disk and mount them a la mount --bind /mnt/local/etc /etc. You should make a separate partition for local swap if you have a local disk. -- Kyle
