 |
|
I'm looking for documentation or others experience with paritioning and configuration of read-only and shared filesystems. What I would like to do is:
1) I would like to install Gentoo to a compact flash card. However, I would like to keep as much as possible read-only. The rest I would put in a RAM disk. But what is the rest and is Gentoo designed with this in mind? Obviously, /tmp and /var would be mounted on the RAM disk, but what else?
2) I have a diskless mini-itx client machine. Now I would like to install a second machine (probably more, I love them!). I would like to share as much as possible between these two (or more) clients. It would be best to mount these read-only and do updates and emerge on the server. But some filesystem have to belong exclusively to each machine. Again, /tmp and /var as well as /etc would reside on separate partitions, but is that it?
TIA
Petter
BTW, here's the diskless mini-itx box, no fan, no disk, no moving parts, totally quiet...

Thank you for your reply, but I'm looking for what has to go into the RAM disk, not how to set up a RAM disk. |
