Hello, listserv!
A while ago I promised to post a lengthy description of a design I use
in our z/VM environment, which is based on SLES9 and makes it possible
to have z/VM users sharing complete root and /boot partitions and "own"
as little as two MDISKs (or more, two is minimum), a 70-cylinder /srv
containing /etc, and a 660 cylinder /var.
How big is /etc in megabytes? I looked at mine (peecee) and its rather
larger than I expected at 89 Mbytes, but 49 of this is Gconf:-(
Is it small enough you could use a ram disk or tempfs, and create the
customised version at IPL time with a per-host patch?
You'd need to make a special arrangement for your ssh keys and changes,
maybe regenerate the patch on demand (or on a crontab) and at shutdown.
