I'm no expert on the subject, but I'm interested in the answer too. |

I'm thinking it may depend on your reason for wanting to boot from NFS. |

One big reason for network booting is for diskless workstations, but |
| 18 |
it seems you plan to keep the existing drive(s) in that machine? |

In that case I would choose to make the NFS boot fs read-only and put |
| 21 |
any writeable fs on the local disk -- but again that would depend on |
| 22 |
your reasons for making the change in the first place. |

But I await more informed opions than mine. |
