Hi,

has anyone experience in mounting a base system via PXE + NFS as readonly an=
d then mount ZFS datasets r/w on top of the base-system?

I would like to boot a basesystem (which is stored on a NFS share) via PXE a=
nd mount ZFS-Datasets on top of that, so i can rollout specific configs (hos=
tname, services...) per Host and give user the ability to edit config files (=
apache, mysql...) and store data on the ZFS-disks, which will not be wiped d=
ue to a Host reboot.

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Philipp
