We have several hundred stateless compute nodes, but we’re starting to wonder
if we should be using statelite provisioning instead. The primary issue we 
would hope
to address is having a place to save Kerberos host credentials.  Of course we 
could
do this at boot time using some kind of post install script (anybody have one 
they’d 
be willing to share?).  Are there other advantages that any of you folks have 
found
to state-lite that would make me want to convert?  Do you use local storage or 
something
like GPFS or NAS to hold the node-specific partitions?

Thanks for any advice / suggestions / caveats!
