This document describes a setup for nfs over root. This document differs
|
|
from the other root over nfs howto's in 2 ways:
|
|
<P>
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>It describes both the server and the client side offering a complete solution,
|
|
it doesn't desribe the generic principles off root over nfs although they will
|
|
become clear. Instead it offers a working setup for root over nfs. One of the
|
|
many possible setup's I might add.</LI>
|
|
<LI>This solution is unique in that it shares the root of the server with the
|
|
workstations (ws). Instead of having a mini-root per ws. This has a number
|
|
of advantages:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>low diskspace usage</LI>
|
|
<LI>any changes on the serverside are also automagicly made at the client side,
|
|
all configuration has only to be done once!</LI>
|
|
<LI>Very easy adding of new clients</LI>
|
|
<LI>only one system to maintain</LI>
|
|
</UL>

</OL>

|
<P>This document is heavily based on a RedHat-5.2 system. Quite a bit of prior
|
|
linux sysadmin experience is assumed in this howto, if you have that it shouldn't
|
|
be a problem to addept this solutions to other distributions.
