Hi Benedikt I'm doing something similar - booting machines via PXE, but with root filesystem on a SAN connected via fibre. What you're trying to do should work perfectly fine. > but in my case I need serveral computers using the same resources an > that means that all files on the nfs mus be readonly (especially lock > and pidfiles must be independently on the machines). If you're NFS-mounting the root filesystem, you need either different areas per machine, or local disk for workspace, e.g. for /var. I've got a cluster that I boot using etherboot with /usr NFS-mounted read-only, and everything else on the local disk. /Per Jessen, Herrliberg -- http://www.spamchek.com/ - managed email security.
