The diskless image which created by 'genimage' command can NOT be used to
deploy a diskfull system.
What's your reason that use diskless image to deploy diskfull system
instead of install diskfull system from scratch?
If you are doing something that prepare a completed configured system in
diskless image and then duplicate the image to large amount of diskfull
system, the sysclone might help:

Subject: [xcat-user] stateless deployment on physical disk
Dear All,
I am a HPC System Administrator at UCL and I would like to use xCAT to
manage node installation on our cluster.
I have installed a golden client and created a stateless image from it
that I can use for booting up other nodes.
Would it be possible to deploy the image on one of the physical disks of
the machines rather than using rootfs on RAM?
I have been playing with the partitionfile option without any success.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Francesco.
