Hi,
I have a RedHat 7.1 machine setup with the SGI XFS filesystem.
It works great.
However, I'm trying to set this machine up as a server for
diskless machines.
We are using vmic single board computers and like the capabilities of
the XFS filesystem. We want to use a diskless solution so we won't
need to maintain as many SBC's. Just setup for net boot, then we're done.
I'm having trouble doing this. The kernel net boot image is too big.
Do you know what I can do to overcome this?
Do you know of anyone that has succeeded in doing this?
Please forgive me if these next questions sound stupid, This is my
first crack at setting up a diskless workstation.
Possibly could I shrink the kernel by making the XFS support a module?
If I did this, where would the kernel load the module from? ...since
no filesystems would be mounted at this time.
Am I out of Luck?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jeff Butkovich
