Each server has ist own part on the sharedroot where hostdependent files can be stored. You can boot the kernel from a shared storage device. have a look at the mini-howto: http://www.open-sharedroot.org/documentation/the-opensharedroot-mini-howto/ > You could also look at: > http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/faq.html#gfs_diskless The url mentioned in that faq should be http://www.open-sharedroot.org/ I also had a speech about that at the redhat summit. Maybe it can be found on the summit homepage ? Mark -- Gruss / Regards, Dipl.-Ing.
