I have boot server that serves with PXE boot and rootdisk via NFS, the image will mount /run /var/log and /tmp as tmpfs and root / is mounted via NFS from the boot server.

Is it safe if I have multiple clients, that boot using the same image, and mount the same root filesystem? Will the system will work normally?

    A typical use case and safest option would be to export the shared NFS rootdisk to be read-only , to prevent (root) users and applications on one client from effecting every client. Also: often configuration files in `/etc/` will be client specific. – HBruijn Mar 18 '19 at 08:56
  • how do we make each client mount `/etc` on different shared dir on NFS, since `/etc` is already inside `/` which is shared dir – uray Mar 19 '19 at 05:47
