We strongly considered this when implementing our cluster
infrastructure,
but decided against it when we realized just how devastating *any*
problem
with that shared root would be...

remove drives from nodes and boot the cluster diskless.
I've seen the open shared-root project and such but those seem to
be about
building the entire cluster. Since I have the cluster going, I'm
looking
for information on how I can convert my nodes to diskless.
Thanks for any information you can provide.

There are quite a some people (increasing every day) using open-
sharedroot
clusters in productive environments with loads of different
applications. I
also wrote a MiniHowto and some other docs (have a look at
www.open-sharedroot.org) to give assistance.
As Mike Hagmann already stated it is not a trivial task to build up
such a
cluster (as it's not a trivialtask to build up any type of productive
clusters, but isn't that a reason why we are doing all that ;-) )
but the
MiniHowto should help you on the one hand and on the other hand you
can get
more help from open-sharedroot or us at ATIX (www.atix.de). If you
like.
Feel free to ask.
Regards and have fun
Marc.
