Re: [opensuse-arm] nbd support for JeOS

They are device agnostic to the some extend. But currently oemboot for armv7l doesn't support networking and that means that initial initrd cannot run nbd-client to mount root. But, I think that It worth to stop bloating oemboot and introduce nbdboot 2015-11-15 2:16 GMT+03:00 Tony Su :

I was under the impression that JeOS images were pretty much device agnostic, laying the image should lay a supported file system on the block device.

Can't what you propose already be done? Or, maybe your source and method to lay the JeOS might be different than what I am thinking of?

Hello,

What do you think about adding possibility to use nbd (network block device) as a root partition for JeOSes?

It could be useful for hardware-testing farms. For instance, u-boot takes kernel and initrd via tftp and then kiwi-based initrd mounts root device /dev/nbd0 feed by qemu-nbd.
