Description Rabbe Fogelholm 2005-09-26 03:14:53 UTC

"Diskless Nodes with Gentoo", September 16, 2005 version:

Code Listing 6.3 and the surrounding text is about systems with pre-1.11.*
baselayout. I would suggest that this is made even more clear, so that the
entire block of text is headed by something that says "Only for systems with
baselayout older than 1.11.*".

For current systems it appears that the right thing to do is to place the
netmount symlink in /etc/runlevels/boot and delete it from
/etc/runlevels/default in the slave filesystem. A description of how to do this
should be added before the pre-1.11 case is dealt with. Something like -

--------------------------------------------------

For a diskless system the /usr and /opt filesystems should be mounted early on.
Therefore you should move the symlink to the boot runlevel:

Code Listing X.X: Moving netmount to the slave's boot runlevel

   # cd /diskless/192.168.1.21/etc/runlevels/boot
   # rm ../default/netmount
   # ln -s ../../init.d/netmount

"netmount" is already in the boot runlevel; this has been added to the doc since this bug was created. Closing, but thanks for reporting.
