<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The way i had done it was creating a
read only partition for the / (root) filesystem. The /var partition was
the only one created seperately for the different mounted systems. The
additional work done was to have a /var/etc with the links made from the
/etc directory for the files that need change across the system. The entries
softlink and if any file ctreation was done in the rcS scripts. It would
take a bit of time, but it works.</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>Hello,<br>
<br>
I have the following setup: one server, with DHCP server and NFS-root <br>
for an embedded target. With one target this works OK, but now I want to
<br>
add another target. The problem I see is that both targets are going to
<br>
write into the same logfiles and lockfiles.<br>
I did setup the DHCP server in such a way that the NFS-root of the <br>
target points to /nfsroot/<last octet of IP address>. But for this
to <br>
work I need a copy of the complete tree for each target board. I would
<br>
prefer to have only one tree for all targets, as this saves the effort
<br>
of keeping all trees in sync.<br>
I could create a smaller NFS-root per target, with only /etc, /var and
<br>
some other directories and mount-points and mount all directories from
a <br>
central nfsroot using the local fstab in /etc. This could work for /var,
<br>
but I would still need to keep /etc in sync.<br>
<br>
Is there another way to do this, or is this the correct way to setup a
<br>
multi-target system?<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Johan Borkhuis<br>
