Hello,
Did anyone configure a system to use a nfs root?
Yep, quite a few. More than 10.
If yes, how?
I tried to build a initrd for nfsroot with dracut, but it alwys searches for a local root device at startup.
You can either specify the root device as /dev/nfs (I think), or you can actually boot the system from nfsroot manually and then build the initrd. (the nfs root is then automagically picked up).
I should explain - boot a system with the installation vmlinuz, initrd. Once up, mount your NFS root manually on /mnt. Then - mount -o bind /proc /mnt/proc mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dec mount -o bind /sys /mnt/szs chroot /mnt And now build your initrd. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
