I want to run diskless booting with PXE.

The gotchas at the end of the Diskless-Howto[1] is quite long.

I am unsure how to get this done. Here are my current possible solutions:

  • use debian live and not ubuntu
  • use aufs [2]

The How-To states "confirmed to work with Ubuntu 12.04.". But maybe I am doing something wrong, I don't think it works this way for several diskless clients sharing one nfsroot.

What is the most painless way to get diskless workstations?

PS: I can't create the new tag "diskless". Please create and add it. Thank you.
