Someone working on support for NFS mounted "/usr"?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
(Sorry to those who see this twice: it looks like our local news
server has all the "linux.*" groups marked as unmoderated.)
As near as I can tell from examining various FAQs, there is no support
for maintaining clients with a read-only, NFS-mounted "/usr"
partition. The only current solution seems to be: (i) install a
complete system on the server and a base system on the client;
(ii) remove the client "/usr" partition and mount the server "/usr" in
its place; (iii) configure the client's packages by hand.
Is anyone working on support for NFS-mounted "/usr" partitions (as
opposed to NFS-mounted installation)? (I'm imagining support in
"dselect/dpkg" to check the server's package versions, update
non-"/usr" files, and perform needed configuration, possibly even
remotely.)
