Can the files that back an md device be resident on an nfs mount?
I run some jails with each having its own root based on an md
device.
I am thinking of having a backend nfs server have all the storage
and
serve it to various front end servers. If one front end server went
down I could easily bring it up on another one. Kind of poor-man's
redundancy
How do you get the NFS mount before you have a root?
Just the jails would be on md devices on the nfs mounted
filesystem. Ie, main computer boots normally, mounts nfs
filesystem, then mounts md devices backed by files on the nfs
fielsystem

Also, I suspect the permissions might be a little tricky...
Some kind of netbooting might work.
