Hi Ilya, We bring up diskless clients via NFS using Gentoo and AUFS with tmpfs for rootfs, /var /etc and a few other folders.
We use a dracut generated initrd with custom dracut modules in order to mount rootfs, /var and /etc cleanly at boot. The issue is getting /var /etc and rootfs mounted with AUFS early enough in the init process to make it workable. The only way to do it is to have dracut mount it before init. Let me know if you would like more information about the Dracut modules.
