Is there a generally accepted "best way" to upgrade/install packages with RPM with a shared RO /usr across multiple images? Management is leaning toward all guests having the same software installed, where service A would be running on one image, and service B on another, though the software is installed on both. The RPM database across images would be identical. I do not see a "clean" or "easy" way to deal with upgrading each img, because of their differences in /etc and /var, while respecting /usr.
Is Chap 8 (Shared Linux Filesystems) of the Large Scale Linux Deployment redbook the way to go here?
