Comment It's been done...only it runs on any distro (Score 2, Interesting) 234
We've been running linux clusters like this for years and have recently released the software for doing it. The software is called oneSIS (http://onesis.sourceforge.net/). This does mostly everything it looks like the fedora stateless project aims at doing:
- Read-only root NFS
- bit-for-bit identical root filesystem
- local disk cache (if desired)
- fine-grained control of independent node/role behavior
- mkinitrd (only better, IMHO)
However, it supports more than Fedora. Currently supported are redhat,fedora,suse,gentoo,and debian.
I've kept it pretty quiet so far, but I guess now might be the time to go public.
