Preface

This page describes how to create and mount the shared root filesystem for every supported filesystem. For GFS1, OCFS2 and NFS it is independent from the underlying distribution. If there are distribution dependencies they are explicitly described here.

Create sharedroot filesystem for NFS

0. First see assumptions

1. On the NFS server export the NFS-Share /mnt/virtual/nfsosr/cluster1 as follows:

   /mnt/virtual/nfsosr/cluster1 192.168.122.0/255.255.255.0(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,sync,no_root_squash)
   

2. Then start the nfs server.

3. On the installation node mount the filesystem as follows:

   mount -t nfs 192.168.122.1:/mnt/virtual/nfsosr/cluster1 /mnt/newroot
