https://bbs.archlinux.org – I've been struggling to get my diskless pc to boot using this guide.It seems the kernel is loaded properly from tftp but the root filesystem fails to mount. This is what I get:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29192523/Screen … 044316.jpgThe server is Arch-based, it didn't work with an Ubuntu server either though. Any help would be appreciated.Here are some configs:/etc/exports/srv/nfs 192.168.1.0/24(rw,fsid=0,no_subtree_check) /srv/nfs/disklessarch 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,nohide,insecure,sync)/srv/nfs/disklessarch/boot/pxelinux.cfg/defaultdefault l (HowTos)

Stories similar to Diskless NFS boot

Hello,

I am trying to setup a FC17 diskless client to PXE boot and mount nfs the root file system.

The first steps are OK: kernel and initramfs are properly tftp downloaded and the boot process starts fine on the client but it crashes with the following message:

Code: VFS: Cannot open root device "nfs:134.158.16.7:/data/diskless/root" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6 Please

Hi guys, I am trying to set up a server from where clients on a network can do a diskless boot of fedora 16 through pxe. I have set up the server with dhcp,tftp,nfs correctly and all are confirmed to be working.

Hello. I'm tying to access an NFS4 file share that I've set-up but all I keep getting is permission denied.

I'm trying to set up NFS for a closed network (all devices known and trusted), to share family files (pics and admin) and mythmedia (videos). System uses fixed IP for server (192.168.0.4) and 2 clients (192.168.0.2 and .3). Simple, I thought...

SERVER: Have installed nfs-kernel-server and set up a pseudo filesystem at /etc/exports.d.

I copied somebody's NFS server/client setup verbatim and am having trouble making sense of what's going on with it. This is the /etc/exports:

/export *(rw,fsid=0,crossmnt,insecure,async,no_subtree_check,sec=krb5p:krb5i:krb5) /export/home *(rw,insecure,async,no_subtree_check,sec=krb5p:krb5i:krb5)

Client machines use autofs to mount user home directories on demand.
