and now squashfs has a similar blocking bug: #465183 getting NBD, unionfs and squashfs all consistantly to a decent state in debian/unstable and debian/testing has proved challenging... so i've been working on alternatives :) just committed a plugin in upstream ltsp to create an ext2 image and with the initramfs-tools nbd hooks, plus LTSP's tmpfs + bind mounts it seems to work reasonably well, with some speed improvment over NFS. also, i've been playing with NBD's copy-on-write support... it's got a few issues that need working out (#470851 and #470963), but i'm hopeful. this approach is all server-side, so nothing needs to be writeable on the thin-client (which frees up some ram). live well, vagrant
