Hi, I am working on multiple ELDK devices. So far, I just have one copy of the ELDK NFS mount per device. This gets unwieldly when we have more than a few devices, especially considering the size of one NFS mount being over 800Mb. Can you suggest a more efficient way? Something like sharing part of a single NFS mount across multiple devices? Or some other way? Cheers, Daniel

I assume you are mounting the NFS as the *root* filesystem, and you don't want the devices to overwrite eachothers files. Why not build a ramdisk root filesystem and boot that. Then mount the NFS filesystem somewhere else, e.g. /usr. This is very well described in the ELDK wiki. Alex
